[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#523764: dh-clean claims for a debian/control file

[Jordi Pujol]

Package: nvidia-kernel-source
Version: 180.44-1
Severity: normal
Architecture: amd64

Hello,

I don't know if that is a packaging bug for nvidia-kernel-source or this must 
be filed against the debhelper package,

Compiling the module with m-a and make-kpkg also, I have found the following 
error: cannot read debian/control: file or directori does not exist

I have solved that adding a line in the file debian/rules of that module, 
after that it compiles successfully:
