Note that I did not ask for second. However lintian does not appear to be exercising such restrain: W: popularity-contest source: debian-rules-missing-recommended-target build-arch N: N: The debian/rules file for this package does not provide one of the N: recommended targets. All of build-arch and build-indep should be N: provided, even if they don't do anything for this package. If this N: package does not currently split building of architecture dependent N: and independent packages, the following rules may be added to fall N: back to the build target: N: N: build-arch: build N: build-indep: build N: N: Note that the following form is recommended however: N: N: build: build-arch build-indep N: build-arch: build-stamp N: build-indep: build-stamp N: build-stamp: N: build here N: N: These targets will be required by policy in the future, so should be N: added to prevent future breakage. This is happens even for package that build a single binary whether arch-all or arch-indep, which does not seems terribly useful.
