Package: heartbeat
Version: 2.1.4-7

If I run

        apt-get source heartbeat
        cd heartbeat-2.1.4
        fakeroot debian/rules clean

then it does a full build first, and next it removes the built files
again. Since "dpkg-buildpackage" usually calls the clean target at
least twice, you might imagine that it does a lot of unnecessary
compile jobs. AFAICS the whole heartbeat is built twice.

Instead of relying upon the generated Makefile to cleanup, I would
suggest to build in a temporary subdirectory. For cleanup you could
simply remove the subdir.


(Another minor problem: There is a dependency

        debian/rules --> ./bootstrap --> /usr/bin/automake

but automake isn't listed in the control file. You stumble upon this
if you press ^C during the build, and try to build again.)


Regards

Harri
