But Manoj said he would remove the non-policy bits from it, and this would clearly fall in that category imho. I'll make this a proposal then: Section 5.2 of policy currently dictates that debian/rules has to be a makefile. While this is good practice, the only thing that is essential is that it is an executable that will respond to the build, clean, binary, binary-arch and binary-indep targets. As such I propose that the statement that debian/rules has be to a makefile be removed.
