Yes. I noticed yesterday (or so… memory is a bit fuzzy) and had that
on my radar. (Is this the counter-bugreport?)

Do you, by chance, have an idea if Doko fixed that on any of his other packages, so I could just cherry-pick that?

(I have a vague guess that replacing one := with = might fix it, but
this package takes a huge amount of ressources to build…)

Hi!

As was discovered in bug #1095746, this package misbuilds when calling
for example «fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch» w/o first calling «debian/rules build-arch», which is a policy violation:

,---
"binary" (required), "binary-arch" (required), "binary-indep" (required)

The "binary" target must be all that is necessary for the user to
build the binary package(s) produced from this source package. It
is split into two parts: "binary-arch" builds the binary packages
which are specific to a particular architecture, and "binary-indep"
builds those which are not.

"binary" may be (and commonly is) a target with no commands which
simply depends on "binary-arch" and "binary-indep".

Both "binary-*" targets should depend on the "build" target, or on
the appropriate "build-arch" or "build-indep" target, so that the
package is built if it has not been already. It should then create
the relevant binary package(s), using "dpkg-gencontrol" to make
their control files and "dpkg-deb" to build them and place them in
the parent of the top level directory.
