Which leads to a problem in the lintian check. When lintian unpacks the source neither debian/rules nor the debian.diff is used. So while you have effectively fixed this problem lintian does not know that. The people on non-intel arches love this check but it is quite the headache for those of us with upstreams who do not keep clean sources.
