I still do not see what one would gain with this compared to the debian/rules based solution. In principle, I would just need a target that is applied just before "dpkg--after-build" is called. I have the same problem in another package: here, an executable is going to be renamed, and therefore also the manpage. Additionally, the manpage needs a patch. Since the manpage is renamed, unpatching it after build fails. Also for this case I would need a place to undo the renaming just before "dpkg--after-build" is called.
