In this case, you need to replace it with "machine-independant scripts" or something like that, and probably clean some of the other places where the assumption is made that debian/rules is a makefile. Considering that you can always drop in a makefile which calls the real thing, it's not urgent to fix this, but it might be nice. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
