Package: dh-autoreconf
Version: 15
Severity: normal
If you have this debian/autogen.sh, like src:flatpak currently does:
#!/bin/sh
set -e
gtkdocize
autoreconf -fi
and you use "dh_autoreconf debian/autogen.sh" as suggested in the man page,
then gtk-doc.make and m4/gtk-doc.m4 are not always cleaned up by
dh_autoreconf_clean, because they are replaced by symbolic links into
/usr/share instead of regular files. However, that replacement breaks
dpkg-source (it is a difference that dpkg-source is not willing to ignore,
unlike deletions, and it is not undone by debian/rules clean) if you build
twice in a row from the same unclean source directory.
Workaround: use `gtkdocize --copy`, or use git-buildpackage, dgit --clean=git
or similar to do a clean build every time.
