Dear source-highlight maintainer,

There is an error currently lying in the debian/rules file that prevents the
package from being built successfully on all architectures other than amd64:

https://sources.debian.org/src/source-highlight/3.1.9-1/debian/rules/#L20

"rm $(DESTDIR)/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsource-highlight.la" We should
never hardcode "x86_64-linux-gnu" in the debian/rules file since this path
will be different on other platform.

The solution should be replacing the triplet string with * so that it may
match all possible directories. A further improvement could be using "rm -f"
instead of "rm" so that the build would not fail even if the file to be
removed is not found.

Boyuan Yang
