Package: ddd-smotif
Version: 1.4d-2
I had ddd installed, and a simple dpkg -i ddd-smotif-1.4d-2.deb failed with

I decided to play with the debian.rules file for one of my packages,
and one of the things I thought to do was actually create the .deb
file in its "final resting place", instead of creating then moving it.
