There is also "Managing Projects with Make" by Andrew Oram and Steve Talbott O'Reilly & Associates ISBN 0-937175-90-0. Note this is not Debian or even Linux specific (it's barely UNIX specific :-) but there is a bunch of advanced stuff in there as well as some philosophy stuff. Your mileage may vary. -- Charles B.
