Since my reasoning here didn't seem to leave a particular positive dent with those tech-ctte members who have responded so far, I would just like to solicit Ian Jackson's input, given his role in defining and implementing the debian/rules calling convention originally. In other worse, if I can't convince the original author of a non-make-dependent API that the API isn't make-dependent, there is no recourse but to yield :)
Or if my memory serves me wrong and it was instead some other person, particularly one that isn't intricately involved with Debian or can't be reached any more, I'm also done. -- 2.
