Title:
  checkinstall fails to add files to dpkg conffiles

Status in checkinstall package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in checkinstall package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  checkinstall 1.6.2-3ubuntu1 has a command like this to create
  conffiles:

  find -L $BUILD_DIR/etc -type f 2> /dev/null | sed -e "s,$BUILD_DIR,," | \
          > $BUILD_DIR/DEBIAN/conffiles

  It is attempting to pipe and redirect the output, resulting in an
  empty conffiles.  Removing the second pipe

  find -L $BUILD_DIR/etc -type f 2> /dev/null | sed -e "s,$BUILD_DIR,," \
          > $BUILD_DIR/DEBIAN/conffiles

  correctly creates the conffiles file.
