Hi.
I see that you fixed this very quickly. Thanks!
I just wanted to point out that this was really a bug in dpkg-dev:

Yeah. See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1076863#69 ;)
I found the bug the hard way yesterday (and fixed locally), and found #1076863
when trying to report it.
To make it all correct. This bug which you reported (#1076920) is actually
a bug in samba, - I used $(dpkg_late_eval) macro, which is internal to dpkg
(defined some /usr/share/dpkg/*.mk files), in samba's d/rules. This is a
mis-use of unpublished interface. Once dpkg dropped this macro, d/rules in
samba stopped working correctly, producing the effect you reported.
However, after fixing this one, I immediately come across #1076863, which
is very similar in context, but entirely different.
So we've 3 in total. One in samba (misuse of internal dpkg macro), and
two (or at least one - #1077005 is a bit different too) in dpkg.
Thanks,
