Bug#897927: equivs builds packages in surprising location

Package: equivs
Version: 2.1.0

When I previously used equivs-build, the .deb file was generated in the
current working directory, but with version 2.1.0 it preferentially uses
$TMPDIR.  In principle, this is a good change, but it would be helpful
if the man page states where the package ends up.  (I spent about an
hours trying to debug, until I finally thought to look at the source
code...)

Thanks!
