Dang. I didn't think of how make would handle absence. So buildtools.mk will always exist in buster and later releases. You only get problems when backporting to stretch or older (and we don't care about cross compilation there). The -include was meant to make it backport-friendly, but it ultimately failed doing exactly that. How about adding an empty rule for /usr/share/dpkg/buildtools.mk? Would that work for you? Helmut
