update-maintainer is fussy about only being run in the package's root:
~/pkg/Nginx/merge-v1.18.0-3/nginx-gu/debian$ update-maintainer No control file found in ./debian.
The -d option provides a way to work around this, but is a tad awkward:
~/pkg/Nginx/merge-v1.18.0-3/nginx-gu/debian$ update-maintainer -d../debian The Maintainer email is set to an ubuntu.com address. Doing nothing.
Packagers often work from in the debian/ dir itself so it would be convenient to scan up the directory tree (perhaps a few levels?)
