[...]As for a tool malfunctioning without `debian/rules`, it could very well have been `sbuild` if the build is using the `.dsc` if `sbuild` is not given a `--no-clean-source`. I cannot find `--no-clean-source` in `dgit` via the online search,[...] Best regards, Niels
Sorry, I inverted that. The `--no-clean-source` is when you use `sbuild` from an unpacked tree rather than use a `.dsc`.
Anyhow, the most likely candidate I can think of is still a tool like `sbuild` or `pbuilder`.
