Package: base-files
Version: 10.3+devuan3.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Upgrading to base-files 10.3+devuan4

running 

make -j2 menuconfig bindeb-pkg

on the linux kernel produces output like:

sh ./scripts/package/mkdebian
dpkg-buildpackage -r"fakeroot -u" -a$(cat debian/arch)  -b -nc -uc
dpkg-buildpackage: warning:     debian/changelog(l2): found end of file where expected first heading
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fatal error occurred while parsing debian/changelog
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.package:83: bindeb-pkg] Error 255
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1427: bindeb-pkg] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:326: __build_one_by_one] Error 2

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Downgrading to 10.3+devuan3.1

   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
