I'm trying to create a new .deb package, but the build fails with the following output:

dpkg-genchanges: error: binary build with no binary artifacts found; cannot distribute
dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-genchanges gave error exit status 2
debuild: fatal error at line 1364:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc failed
bzr: ERROR: The build failed.

What am I doing wrong?

This is similar to this bug report: bugs.debian.org #831939

They fixed with following patch:

--- a/debian/rules
+++ b/debian/rules
@@ -31,12 +31,12 @@ install: build
    # rename jailer.pl to jailer
    mv `pwd`/debian/jailer/usr/sbin/jailer.pl `pwd`/debian/jailer/usr/sbin/jailer

-# Build architecture-independent files here.
-binary-indep: build install
+# Build architecture-dependent files here.
+binary-arch:


We have nothing to do by default.


-# Build architecture-dependent files here.
-binary-arch: build install
+# Build architecture-independent files here.
+binary-indep: build install
    dh_testdir
    dh_testroot


dh_installdebconf

So, depending on the used target tags in rules file, dpkg-buildpackage will run specific checks automatically.
