It didn't seem right probably because of being used to the way autotools work and this is different. What seemed dirty was having to "mkdir build" and "rm -d" etc within debian/rules. I can see advantages having the build area completely separate from the source as it ensures that source will not be touched during build and makes cleaning a trivial directory delete. Any examples of an invocation of cmake from debian/rules for build and clean? as i would be quite interested to see if I am doing it correctly or not.
