Run with DH_VERBOSE=1, this will tell you exactly how dpkg-gencontrol
is called. Perhaps a wrong file is parsed as a changlog??

The error is generated in line 120 of /usr/lib/dpkg/parsechangelog/debian.
The interesting thing is that this will only be reached after a regexp
match with /^ \-\-/. No line (except the real trailer, which seems ok)
should match this...

If all else fails, you could add
  print "### line: $_\n";
before the clerror call. This will show you the problematic line.
