It turns out that my changelog was malformed, I was missing the Author
line, so it looked something like this:

util-vserver (0.30.216~r2772-6) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Added patch from Andres Mejia to fix bashisms (Closes: #486060)
  * Build on powerpc without the alternative syscalls, to fix
    vattribute: vc_set_ccaps(): Interrupted system call problem.
    Thanks to John H. Robinson, IV" <[email protected]> (Closes: #508569)

util-vserver (0.30.216~r2772-5) unstable; urgency=low

...

It should have had:

 -- Micah Anderson <[email protected]>  Fri, 28 Nov 2008 15:59:56 -0500

between the last changelog entry and the next 'util-vserver' line. I
dont know how I managed to remove that, but that was the reason. The
error was pretty weird, but I guess dpkg-parsechangelog doesn't really
give you anything to work with there.

i'm closing the bug,
micah
