Hello. I've unarchived this to add this comment :-) > --- a/debian/rules 2020-06-10 12:23:36.358145956 +0100 > --- b/debian/rules 2020-06-10 12:50:35.382770860 +0100 > @@ -18,3 +18,4 @@ > --movedev debian/tmp/usr/include/* usr/include \ > debian/tmp/usr/lib/*/*.so > find debian -name "*.la" -delete > + rm -f examples/Makefile.in examples/Makefile This had a funny unintended side effect: The Makefile in the toplevel directory, when invoked as "make distclean" and acting recursively on several directories, started to fail, and triggered a "fails to build source after binary build"-bug from Lucas. I've now fixed the reproducibility problem by specifying the exact files that we want in examples in libgbtools-dev.examples, excluding any Makefile-type file, as those are not really of interest. Thanks.
