Package: debhelper Version: 11.3.5 Severity: wishlist The cmake build system always passes the -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON option even if the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS contains the terse tag. The tag means that build process should produce less output than usual[1].
Also somehow the DH_QUIET environment variable does not affect verbosity of Makefile. [1]: Debian Policy Manual, P. 4.9.1
