Public bug reported:

I used equivs in the past to build meta packages to ensure that certain
packages are installed on my systems. This always worked well.

With the Ubuntu 19.10, I am unable to build any meta package with equivs
even though the program does not report any error. Running "equivs-build
control" in ~/build using the attached demo control file results in the
following output:


dh_testdir
dh_testroot
dh_prep
dh_testdir
dh_testroot
dh_install
dh_installdocs
dh_installchangelogs
dh_compress
dh_fixperms
dh_installdeb
dh_gencontrol
dh_md5sums
dh_builddeb
dpkg-deb: building package 'test-deb' in '../test-deb_1_all.deb'.

The package has been created.
Attention, the package has been created in the current directory,
not in ".." as indicated by the message above!


However, no DEB package is created at all. Neither in the ~/ nor in ~/build nor anywhere else.
