Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.22.1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Since 1.22 (does happen in 1.22.1, did not happen in 1.21.21), running "dpkg- shlibdeps --version" prints
---
dpkg-shlibdeps: error: cannot read debian/control: No such file or directory ---
instead of the version string (which can be obtained after a "mkdir debian; touch debian/control")
---
Debian dpkg-shlibdeps version 1.22.1.

This has downstream effects in tools that attempt to check the version of dpkg- shlibdeps, as they can no longer work, e.g. "cpack -G DEB" (the .deb cmake generator) does not work anymore.
Thanks a lot,
-- Package-specific info:
This system uses merged-usr-via-aliased-dirs, going behind dpkg's
back, breaking its core assumptions. This can cause silent file
overwrites and disappearances, and its general tools misbehavior.
