It seems that after "manually" providing the compat file in debian directory in the buildarea, if I run the "naked" debuild commands:
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -ui
then
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -ui -S
Instead of what is documented:
bzr builddeb -- -us -uc
and
bzr builddeb -S
All seems to be working fine and I get a binary deb package (first command) and a source package for launchpad.
Although I don't get "lintian" that seemed to be embedded when using the bzr wrapper... although that was anyway failing with my 16.04 install for unknown reason!
Possible workaround?
