Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.13.10

I just cloned the upstream git repository from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
sha id 248542ea9ae9125a7ccf214b979ada9908ea1358.

I noticed it has a debian dir, so I wanted to
build it. I ran dpkg-checkbuilddeps and it didn't
complain. However, the build failed.

It seems if a Build-Depends line is corrupted,
dpkg-checkbuilddeps exits successfully with no output.
I think this is bad.

Here's a change I made to the control file, and after
this change dpkg-checkbuilddeps did complain about the
missing build deps.
