Hi, Looking into packaging the API docs described by src/Doxyfile, I got sidetracked by simplifying debian/rules using dh and generating the upstream changelog automatically from the git repo (all of which seem to work well). This patch series does none of those things --- it just carries out some minor cleanups.
Patch 1 makes "debian/rules clean" work without fakeroot (which is a pet peeve of mine and how "dh clean" works, anyway). Patch 2 uses dh_prep in place of dh_clean -k, since the latter makes some noise about being deprecated nowadays. Patch 3 writes "7" to debian/compat, since debhelper 7 is needed for patch 2 anyway. Patch 4 adds a debian/.gitignore. Patch 5 uses dpkg-buildflags to retrieve CFLAGS. Patch 6 removes some noise from the ./configure compile line. No change noticed in the binary packages with debdiff. These are just nitpicks, so please feel free to take what looks good and discard the rest. Thoughts?
