Bug#483466: madwifi-source: Cannot build madwifi due to dh_installchangelogs: changelog parse failure

[Michael R Head]

Package: madwifi-source
Version: 1:0.9.4~rc2-1
Severity: important

I attempted to use modules-assistant to build and install madwifi against the new 2.6.25-2-686 kernel (which I've just 
installed). I've done this in the past against previous kernels, but am having trouble today.

Here's the end of /var/cache/modass/madwifi-source.buildlog.2.6.25-2-686.1212007913:
