Thanks. Yep I just confirmed I can build the .deb with this option. Seems like a fairly substantial bug and it looks like it has been around for at least a couple of years. In any case I can now build deb’s! Thanks!

I’ll be able to test that they work once I get the main issue to do with ipsets figured out!

Thanks, Jason
