Severity: normal

/usr/share/doc/maint-guide/html/build.en.html says:

  6.1. Complete (re)build

  In order to perform a complete (re)build of a package properly, you
  need to make sure you have installed

    * the build-essential package,

    * packages listed in the Build-Depends field (see Section 4.1,
      “control”), and

    * packages listed in the Build-Depends-indep field (see Section 4.1,
      “control”).

  Then you issue the following command in the source directory:

  $ dpkg-buildpackage

but this can lead to incorrect build or build failure because the
environment is not sanitized, like here:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=696290

The documentation should tell to use debuild instead. The debuild
command is mentioned later in this HTML file, but for automation only;
nothing is said about the environment problem.
