Why is this a problem? It's actually a feature because we want to protect the access to debian/files. And we don't want two concurrents dpkg-gencontrol using different -c options to stomp on each other. It might be a problem if debian/control does not exist at all, is that the problem in your case? Maybe in that case we should fallback to the file indicated by -c.
