This seems like the natural way to use a buildsystem, but it breaks:
#! /usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh -Bbuild $@
[...]
dh_compress -Bbuild
dh_fixperms -Bbuild
dh_strip -Bbuild

This is of course because, unless it's been told about the -B option by
buildsystems_init, Dh_Getopt parses this as -B -b -u=ild.
Both '-B=build' and '-B build' break in different ways; '-B=build' tries
to use a build directory called '=build', while 'dh -B build clean' does
nothing. '--builddirectory=build' works, though.
I don't know whether this is fixable without breaking other things. If
not, maybe this gotcha could at least be documented.
Thanks,
