Oops - thank you! I've applied the patch and I'll aim to do an upload that
fixes this tonight.
Also, I could have sworn I did a test run of building all the examples in
examples/, but indeed `apt-get source config-package-dev; cd
examples/debhelper/debathena-transform-example-1.0; dpkg-buildpackage`
fails. (And also fails in unstable because the example config file has
changed location.) We should really add a test suite to make sure the
examples build and produce the .debs we expect.
