"Binary" in that context was the .deb package file (in contrast to the .dsc source package). > In my build, neither one of these files contains any path information; > I speculate that you need to use a VPATH build to have an issue, or > maybe Debian's build environment does something even weirder.

Of course there might be more issues waiting to come into effect, but I don't see why that would be an argument against fixing the current issue.
