Bug Description

Trying to compile the midori browser 0.0.20, but at the Package meta-data screen, pressing "forward" does nothing. Can't proceed with compiling.

Also, when I start up debcreator through the terminal, it says "WARNING **: Invalid borders specified for theme pixmap: .home/owner/.themes/MidnightOSX/gtk-2.0/button_round.png, borders don't fit within the image.

Just a fyi, there is a ppa for midori: https://launchpad.net/~midori/+archive/ppa

It seems that debcreator fails right now because midori uses the 'waf' build system and not autotools. Need to figure this one out.

And the warning is a theme error, unrelated to the program.

Hello!

I cought a similar situation: I tried to create a DEB-file from this one <http://www.yudit.org/download/yudit-2.9.0.tar.gz> and at the screen 'Package meta-data' I could not continue. There comes a messagebox, which said:

'Unable to detect the top source directory in the archive. This should be something like <name>-<version>'

Try it please with this tarball, I didn't know, whats wrong.
