Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Whitespace in the working directory path

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

$ mkdir "/tmp/a path with whitespace/"
$ cd "/tmp/a path with whitespace"
$ apt-get source grep
$ cd grep-2.27
$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

   * What was the outcome of this action?
