dpkg-gencontrol warned on every build:
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Depends field of package edbrowse: substitution
variable ${misc:Depends} used, but is not defined
Since compat 14 debhelper appends the relationship substvars to the fields
itself, so listing them is redundant.

debhelper-compat 14 makes `single-binary` (d/PKGNAME) the implicit
default but prefers explicit specification of the mode.
dh: warning: Implicitly activating single-binary dh addon for backwards
dh: warning: compatibility. In compat 14+, this fallback will *not* happen
Switch to debian/tmp with `dh --without=single-binary`.
Upstream uses INSTALLBASE in an interesting way, so pass
--destdir=debian/edbrowse so DESTDIR agrees with INSTALLBASE and no
empty debian/tmp is created.
