Comment 1 for bug 67611

I'm compiling lirc-modules-source in kubuntu edgy and I've same problem.

Output console:
"root@paolo-mediacenter:/usr/src/linux# make-kpkg --revision 2.6.17-10.33 modules_image
 I note you are using a hyphen in the revision number.
 Please ensure that the upstream and debian revision
 numbers are policy compliant enough that dpkg and
 shall not choke on them at the end of the compile
exec debian/rules DEBIAN_REVISION=2.6.17-10.33 modules_image
