while making a build-dep package, mk-build-deps writes:

dpkg-deb: vytv???m bal?k ,,kwin-build-deps" v ,,../kwin-build-deps_5.10.5-2_i386.deb".

The package has been created.
Attention, the package has been created in the current directory,
not in ".." as indicated by the message above!

However, the generated package is not in the current directory as
stated, nor in the parent directory, but in $TMP. Please fix that, or
the message.

Regards
    Jiri Palecek
