I don't think that's a real problem. Please try doing this after applying the patch I suggested: debian/rules build You will see that it does what it is supposed to do (i.e. building the package). If your intention is that "debian/rules build" builds everything from scratch again if you do it a second time, you can't even do that with dh because of dh's own stamping system. For example, try "debian/rules build" on the hello package, then try "debian/rules build" again, you will see that it does not do anything the second time. Thanks.
