Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Compiling a new kernel from the source
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
make -j10 bindeb-pkg
* What was the outcome of this action?
A warning that there is no debug package
* What outcome did you expect instead?
No such warning.
I attach a patch to include the debug package in the
control file only if it is built later
