Imagine yourself in the reader's position. For me, it was not that clear
to read that they were overriding DH_COMMANDS. The first impression was
that they were overriding "debian/rules makefile TARGETS", and the
utility used prefix "override_dh_" as a namespace separator.
Leading to confusion:
override_dh_build-indep Makefile's target
Obviously there is no dh_build-indep command and the target did nothing.

It makes reader aware that the issue here is DH_COMMAND in contrast to
Makefil's targets.
Please reconsider,
