Ok, I figured this out. dpb must have some permissions restrictions and
even though I'm running it as root, it can't read /root/packages. /root
is chmod 700 on this machine. I threw it in /tmp and it runs now.

It'd be nice if dpb used a more exact error like "permission denied."

It looks like -P doesn't build the packages, though. I'm now trying to
figure out which flag will coax it into building. -I isn't building or
installing, either...
