Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.14.16.6
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

It would be quite nice if dpkg-buildpackage grew a extra option to set what 
targets
to be run.

I often manually invoke debian/rules $target to only do parts of the
build process, but now that dpkg-buildpackage has started to set up
magic environment vars, that might lead to different results.

I would like to see a dpkg-buildpackage --with(out)-rootcmd --target
$FOO

(maybe with shorter options)

That command sholud then do something like:

if(use rootcmd)
then
        $rootcmd $rulesfile $target
else
        $rulesfile $target
endif

With $rulesfile being obtained from -R and the other new options as
described.

/Sune
