Follow-up Comment #1, bug #24487 (project make): Is this perhaps the bug that causes the problems discussed at
http://glandium.org/blog/?p=2126 Quoting here so that you don't need to browse off-site: """ .PHONY: build %: dh $@ What do you think happens when you run debian/rules build in a directory containing a build file or directory? make: Nothing to be done for `build’. However, an explicit rule, like the following, works: .PHONY: build build: dh $@ It happens that many of the packages I maintain contain a build subdirectory in their source. As such, to work around the aforementioned issue, I just declared the dh rules explicitely, as in: .PHONY: build binary binary-arch binary-indep (...) build binary binary-arch binary-indep (...): dh $@ And this obviously doesn’t scale for new rules such as build-arch and build-indep.
