Hi! I have found the bug with debian/control.
The "latex-cjk-chinese-arphic" source builds four font packages. My predecessor had an inventive way to create several files completely automatically, hence the *.in files and the pattern substitution hocus pocus in debian/rules. This should be a piece of cake for others to build their own font packages for Debian, using only "rules" and "*.in". During the "clean:" phase, the "pre-clean" and $(clean_fonts) targets are run first. pre-clean looks okay, since the debian/control file only has the Source stanza. Then $(clean_fonts) is run. This is a mix of: a) fonts = bsmi bkai gbsn gkai b) clean_fonts = $(addprefix clean_,$(fonts)) c) $(clean_fonts): abbrev = $(patsubst clean_%,%,$@) $(clean_fonts): DH_OPTIONS = -p$(bin-package) -P$(d) $(clean_fonts): [commands to add the binary packages automatically to debian/control] My guess is that DH_OPTIONS is to blame: the new parallel option in Debhelper has now been removed and totally replaced with my own -p and -P options. Could you please try the following thing: instead of DH_OPTIONS = -p$(bin-package) -P$(d) replace it with DH_OPTIONS = $(DH_OPTIONS) -p$(bin-package) -P$(d) in the "$(clean_fonts)", "$(install_fonts)" and "$(binary_fonts)" targets? I think this is the root of the problem, so if you would be so kind to test this for me, please? As far as Wadalab is concerned [1], I'm not sure why debian/rules fails to work after a simple "cd" command. It looks like the "clean" target is run again after building; weird. I'll look at it later.
