    Is debian/control maybe generated during the build? That is not allowed [1].

    It's generated, but by a `maint` target run before making the source
    package.

    However I see there is also a dependency on debian/control from override_dh_auto_configure. Looking at the .dsc it looks like I forgot
    to run `debian/rules maint` for 1.4.28-1 so debian/control may have been regenerated during the build.

    The equivalent of this dependency has been there since the start of git history over 20 years ago, before I took over as maintainer, but it is clearly a bad idea. I'll remove it.

    Removed in 1.4.29-3 which I've just uploaded. Thanks for highlighting
    this.

    Cheers,
    Olly
