My hope was that the maintainer could override dh_doxygen somehow and manually point it to the Doxyfile. Then dh_doxygen would simply replace the configuration option in question. However it seems this tool is not envisaged to work that way. Anyway, I think I have found a better solution after finally reading the documentation part of Doxygen about command line usage. :-) http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/manual/faq.html Although doxygen cannot be controlled via command line options, it is possible to pipe options via stdin to it. The following override for dh_auto_build-indep works: cd Box2D/Documentation && ( cat Doxyfile ; echo"HTML_TIMESTAMP=NO") | doxygen - I will implement this change and fix this bug with the next upload. I prefer modifying debian/rules and I think it is the least "intrusive" way to resolve this issue. At least nobody has to worry about rebasing patches in the future. :) By the way, I have forwarded your patch upstream. https://code.google.com/p/box2d/issues/detail?id=344 Cheers, Markus
