Absolutely right. This has nothing to do with CDBS features, the fault
is
mine.

I really failed to suspect the single/double colon dependencies! In
fact, in
my second thoughts and after digging for a while into rules and class CDBS
makefiles I realized that it is enough to have just debhelper.mk and
autotools.mk included in my debian/rules file and have all the common things
I need. Then I added my own and unique (phony) targets to enhance what I
already have inherited from cdbs. That is what I think I need - the common
things should be implemented by a common pile of code, and my part stays
really mine, isolated and being added next to that.
Thanks for the comprehensive make lecture, it was pretty refreshing, at
least
for me.
