This reduces the entire hand-crafted debian/rules file into a one-line makefile - and I have pushed the same changes to the other package - "survivor" where I had done the same sort of handcrafting. Please take a look at my changes and let me know if it looks good. Whilst the solution was simple, your hand-crafted rules file helped me get deeper insights of how stuff is working exactly, else I usually relied on debhelper to do it's magic. Thanks a lot for that :-) Kind Regards, Nilesh
