    The wish is to install hd-idle on a bare Debian 6.0.6 installation.

    For installation the hd-idle documentation instructs:

    Run "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot"

    However trying to run that command results in:

    root@debian:/tmp/hd-idle# dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
    -bash: dpkg-buildpackage: command not found
    

    How to fix this missing dpkg-buildpackage?
