This (empty) file is needed to build the dep. Without it, you get this error:
The deb file can be built with
dpkg-buildpackage
without this change. However if you want to build a deb using cowbuilder for a different distribution, you need to create a source package and.dsc
file. The.deps
file will be excluded by default by dpkg, and the deb file will fail to build.The fix here is to overwrite the dpkg-source “don't include these files” argument to remove the
.deps
.
