Package: dh-make
Version: 0.41
Severity: minor

The Makefile synopsis reads:

  SYNOPSIS
       make [ -f makefile ] [ options ] ... [ targets ] ...

However, the rules::install target places 'target' in unconventional 
place; to the beginning:

  install: build
        ...
        # Add here commands to install the package into debian/wn.
        $(MAKE) install prefix=$(CURDIR)/debian/foo/usr

This should be rewritten to:

        $(MAKE) prefix=$(CURDIR)/debian/foo/usr install
                                                =======

because the 'target's are traditionally listed last in make commands.
