Binary package hint: bzr-builddeb

Get the message:

Looking for ../tarballs/ssss_0.5.orig.tar.gz to use as upstream source
bzr: ERROR: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '../tarballs'

After entering the following commands:

bzr branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~james-w/+junk/ssss
cd ssss
bzr builddeb

Under hardy Ubuntu 8.04
 bzr-builddeb 0.93ubuntu1
 bzr 1.3.1-1

Literally:
gruber@gruber-ubuntu:~$ bzr branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~james-w/+junk/ssss
Branched 4 revision(s).
gruber@gruber-ubuntu:~$ cd ssss
gruber@gruber-ubuntu:~/ssss$ bzr builddeb
Building using working tree
Preparing the build area: ../build-area
Looking for ../tarballs/ssss_0.5.orig.tar.gz to use as upstream source
bzr: ERROR: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '../tarballs'

Entering:
mkdir ../tarballs

and then entering:
bzr builddeb

allows the build to proceed as expected.
