There's another problem: $ dpkg-buildpackage -b dpkg-buildpackage: source package icedove dpkg-buildpackage: source version 38.7.0-1 dpkg-buildpackage: source distribution unstable dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by Christoph Goehre <ch...@sigxcpu.org> dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture amd64 dpkg-source --before-build icedove-38.7.0 fakeroot debian/rules clean dh clean dh_testdir dh_auto_clean dh_clean debian/rules build make: 'build' is up to date. fakeroot debian/rules binary dh binary dh_testdir dh_update_autotools_config debian/rules override_dh_auto_configure make[1]: Entering directory '/media/xda1/data/infinity0/tmp/icedove/icedove-38.7.0' # update config.sub and config.guess dh_autotools-dev_updateconfig [..] For some reason, you are building everything in the "binary" target and not the "build" target. This also needs to be fixed. Actually this is the cause of my original "dh build" problem, but any hard-requirement on environment variables should *also* be fixed.
