Here's something that nearly works (for some reason,
debian/tmp/usr/bin/midori disappears or isn't created).
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@
clean:
dh $@
./waf --nocache distclean
build:
dh $@ --before configure
./waf --nocache configure --prefix=/usr
dh $@ --after configure --until build
./waf --nocache build
dh $@ --remaining
binary:
dh $@ --until dh_auto_install
./waf --nocache install --destdir=debian/tmp
dh $@ --remaining --before dh_strip
dh_strip --dbg-package=midori-dbg
dh $@ --remaining
--
