A package that is currently built with plain makefile (or autoconf), but also has a cmakefile seems more likely than one with distutils plus cmake. The chance of breakage switching from makefile to cmake is probably less than distutils to cmake, but is still very real. > Do you agree that we need to solve this problem one way or the other? > Currently, cmake is stuck with possibility to customize configure step > only unless the build system is manually forced... Obviously yes, but I hope reordering (implicitly or explicitly) the build systems is not the only way to accomplish that. We could store the build system used for configure in debian/buildsystem.debhelper and have that override autodetection for the other steps. -- see shy jo
