When I try to extract the source package manually (in scratchbox) I
get (first problmes with dget, then):

After some head scratching I found the problem: package names (at
least in Debian, but that is probably the same with Debian tools in
maemo) must not contain "_" (underlines), they are used in several
places to separate package names from versions.

After changing smscon_editor to smscon-editor in several places 
dpkg-buildpackage starts and fails in the end with 
dpkg-deb: package name has characters that aren't lowercase alphanums or `-+.'
So probably I haven't renamed it everywhere :)

Ok, a little later I have a package that builds (no idea if it
works). Find attached a debdiff of the changes.


Please note that I don't know if this is the reason for the failure
in the buildd but it might be worth fixing in any case.


Cheers,
gregor
