So I was getting ready to build a package and dh-make errored out on me. Here is the output.

I would also like to add that after filing this I tried it 3 more times Each time that I trie it it made debian dir But licence was wrong.
Meaning that I would run dh_make -c gpl3 each time
1st time I got back gpl2
2nd time I got back lgpl
3rd time I got back bsd

also all them times dh-make never made a rules file.

I was able to get help on IRC on the motu channel for this one and fix this bug buy adding
Getopt::Long::Configure ('no_ignore_case');
turns out that dh-make was getting confused by CAPS or no caps.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package dh-make - 0.61ubuntu1

---------------
dh-make (0.61ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  * dh_make: line 14 added Getopt::Long::Configure ('no_ignore_case');
    (LP: #1048908)
  * fixed the bug number and explaining more.

    example dh_make -c gpl3 *.tar.gz will error out but dch_make
    --copyright would not so adding no_ignore_case fixs this.
