Package: tomboy
Version: 0.3.5-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 4.8, "Main building script: debian/rules"

Tomboy's clean target gets in an infinite loop after building the
package once, then trying to build it again. e.g.,

$ fakeroot apt-get -b source tomboy
... it builds ...
$ fakeroot apt-get -b source tomboy
... it ./configures at least 6 times before I ^C, during clean ...

./configure fails with:
 checking for TOMBOY... configure: error: Package requirements (gtk-sharp 
gnome-sharp gconf-sharp) were not met.
 Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
 installed software in a non-standard prefix.

 Alternatively you may set the TOMBOY_CFLAGS and TOMBOY_LIBS environment 
variables
 to avoid the need to call pkg-config.  See the pkg-config man page for
 more details.

Though this is obviously not true, as I built the package once.
Moreover, even if something is wrong with the Tomboy makefile,
debian/rules should not get in an infinite loop.
