Missing $(DESTDIR)s in Makefiles are an example. Especially when the install part was DESTDIRified, but the test before if the file is already there (as make install does not want to overwrite a config file) was forgotten. This leads to a corrupt package when build on a system where the package is already installed, i.e. is hidden away in any clean chroot. Hochachtungsvoll, Bernhard R.
