Creating a patch

[Michael S. Fischer]

Following up...

(I'm asking here because I don't want to subscribe to debian-devel at this
point; too much traffic, not enough filtering on my part.)

I'm about ready to upload my patch to go with my bug submission for the
'host' package; part of the patch would be an additional entry to the
Build-Depends: line of debian/control.  However, I'm having difficulty
testing my change to control: dpkg-buildpackage -D seems to build the
package whether I put the real dependent package entry (in this case
bind-dev (>= 8.2.4-1)) in there or I put a bogus entry in there (bind-dev
(>= 8.2.4-2)).

Is this a bug in dpkg-dev or am I doing something wrong?
