Hi,

I would like to propose a mass bug filing on source packages that miss
support for build-arch or build-indep targets in debian/rules.

Those targets were made mandatory in Debian Policy 3.9.4 (released in
August 2012). From the changelog:
  * build-arch and build-indep are now mandatory targets in debian/rules,
    implementing the Technical Committee ruling in #629385.  Wording
    review by Jonathan Nieder, Jakub Wilk, and Roger Leigh.
    (Closes: #374029)

There are currently 411 packages in testing that do not include those
targets, according to lintian's debian-rules-missing-recommended-target
tag.  (I will also file a bug against lintian to reflect that those
targets are now required).

I do not particularly care about those targets, but I believe that it is
a good idea to use this old policy change as a way to identify packages
whose packaging should be upgraded to newer practices.

Here is the template I plan to use:
-------------------------------------->8

Source: SOURCE
Version: VERSION
Severity: serious
Tags: bookworm sid
Usertags: build-arch-indep

Hi,

According to lintian, this package does not implement
build-arch/build-indep targets in debian/rules. Those are mandatory
since Debian Policy 3.9.4, released in 2012.

This mass bug filing was discussed on the debian-devel mailing list. See
URL

While fixing this bug, please also consider upgrading this package's
packaging to newer standards or best practices (such as using dh,
maintaining the package in git on salsa, using a newer source format,
etc.)
-------------------------------------->8

I attached a dd-list.

To limit the noise on the debian-bugs-rc list, I will wait until after
the bullseye release to file those bugs.

Any comments?
