Hi,
In Ubuntu this package FTBFS. The reason seems to be that the
build-indep target isn't running when sbuild invokes "debian/rules
build", causing a later dh_install against the zoneminder-doc package to
fail because files produced by that target don't exist.
As far as I understand, the cause is that debhelper's dh sequencer
doesn't itself call the build-indep target when invoked via
"debian/rules build". So when using debhelper, a "build-indep" rule
appears to be wrong, and override_dh_auto_build-indep needs to be used
to override the appropriate behaviour instead.
Here is the patch:
