Package: src:auctex
Version: 11.88-1.2
Severity: serious
Dear maintainer:
I tried to build this package in stretch with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it)
but it failed:

Type "make" at the prompt to build.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The relevant part of the build log is included above.
Please note that there is both a "build" target and an
"override_dh_auto_build" target, but there are not build-arch or
build-indep targets.
This is not very orthodox and leads to funny failures like this one,
where "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and "dpkg-buildpackage" have different
results even if package is "Arch: all".
I would try removing the build target (and also fixing
override_dh_auto_build), since this package is supposed to have
switched to "dh".
While we are at it, we have now an "Arch: all" autobuilder. Please
consider uploading in source-only form so that these kind of bugs are
discovered earlier and do not propagate to testing.
Thanks.
