$ dpkg-genchanges
parsechangelog/debian: warning: debian/changelog(l9): found eof where expected first heading
parsechangelog/debian: error: fatal error occured while parsing input
dpkg-genchanges: error: changelog parser /usr/lib/dpkg/parsechangelog/debian gave error exit status 255
Probably I'm missing something in debian/changelog:
I only know how to modify a changelog; Though the command dch is what I use. Try the man page for more info until someone who does create packages from scratch can post.
The parser is very picky about the changelog files. A typo or an extra space between the maintainer's email address and the date will cause trouble, for example (has to be two spaces) The error message says it could a problem on line 19, which the OP did not provide.
