My build (180.44-1) also failed here:

dh_installdocs
dh_installmodules
dh_installchangelogs
dh_installmodules
dh_strip
dh_compress
dh_fixperms
dh_installdeb
dh_gencontrol -- -v
dpkg-gencontrol: unknown option `-v'

Usage: dpkg-gencontrol [<option> ...]

Options:
  -p<package>              print control file for package.
  -c<controlfile>          get control info from this file.
  -l<changelogfile>        get per-version info from this file.
  -F<changelogformat>      force change log format.
  -v<forceversion>         set version of binary package.
  -f<fileslistfile>        write files here instead of debian/files.
  -P<packagebuilddir>      temporary build dir instead of debian/tmp.
  -n<filename>             assume the package filename will be 
<filename>.
  -O                       write to stdout, not .../DEBIAN/control.
  -is, -ip, -isp, -ips     deprecated, ignored for compatibility.
  -D<field>=<value>        override or add a field and value.
  -U<field>                remove a field.
  -V<name>=<value>         set a substitution variable.
  -T<varlistfile>          read variables here, not debian/substvars.
  -h, --help               show this help message.
      --version            show the version.
dh_gencontrol: dpkg-gencontrol returned exit code 2
make: *** [binary-modules] Error 1

---

I simply edited debian/rules to change "dh_gencontrol -- -v$(VERSION)" 
into "dh_gencontrol -- $(VERSION)". Seems to work...

Hopefully these little glitches can be fixed up soon.

Thanks,
Christopher Martin
