Thanks for the hint, Gergely. Unfortunately the man page, in particular the EXAMPLES section, does not address my *initial* question (AFAIK): ---{original question}--- Is there an easy way to tell "dh" that it should use Makefile.linux instead of Makefile? Or do I need to perform override_dh_* for all the targets that need to be used? ---{end}--- And really at this point my original question is making less and less sense as I think about it. I am familiar with the override syntax of dh, if that is what you were referring to when you mentioned the question I asked about being answered in the dh man page. I am using the dh_override_* mechanisms now. >> Perhaps I don't understand the MAKE environment variable. > > I'm afraid you don't.
