I got this error when I, by mistake, left the installation target out of a .install file. I'll attach a proposed patch here in a moment.

Debdiff to raise a useful error instead of crashing. I didn't see a good default to assume, so I think raising an error is all we can do.

Hi,

You are both core-dev, so I assume you can handle fixing and uploading
