Hi, thanks for valuable comments, now it makes more sense to me. The problem was that my 'build:' target is dependent on build-arch and build-indep targets (as generated by dh_make when I started with the project). When pbuilder invokes 'debian/rules build', both these targets are called.
I looked at text4ht's debian/rules and there you simply commented out the 'build:' target. I tried the same thing and it works nicely. (My original debian/rules, without this modification, is here: http://git.debian.org/?p=debian-science/packages/eprover.git;a=blob;f=debian/rules;hb=master ) Now I'm just concerned about (violating) Debian Policy (Sect. 4.9). It states that the 'build:' target is mandatory. Should I leave 'build:' commented out, possibly violating the policy, or perhaps include it just empty, removing its dependencies on 'build-arch' and 'build-indep', so that the policy is satisfied?
