Guillem pointed out one problem: Either you do it via a make include (which you have issues with), or you stop supporting calling debian/rules directly (inconvenient, probably prone to break things), or you require every package to handle it itself (unreliable, stupid) -- or you have the current situation, which is somewhere in the middle. For example, you possibly get something different depending on whether you call debian/rules, dpkg-buildpackage, debuild, or pbuilder. And the difference is hard to explain or analyze. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
