This would be a pity: in this case, it helped me to work around the issue (caused by my own blunder, most probably, but hey...) and tipped me off in the right direction. Without this message, I'd perhaps still be barking up wrong trees... > Heck in many cases, I've seen and introduced workarounds like "CC=true > dpkg-architecture ..." to make it stop being noisy. Yes, if this warning shows up even with a correct debian/rules it should be silenced, I get that. I'll try to understand a bit more before I come back, but ideally such a message might still be there to catch poor souls who don't know exactly what they are doing (as me).
