Although seldom needed, that's a useful thing when you have to debug the build system, especially when it's intercepted with upstream's and things are not working as one would expect. (I fixed a bug in a package using this technique once, so it's not just a hypothetical argument.) IMHO, the assumption that debian/rules is a makefile (or more precisely, a GNU makefile) has its deep roots in maintainers' minds. Personally, I've never associated it with alleged policy bureaucracy, I've always thought that's simply the *right* thing to do. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
