Hi Santiago,
thanks for your report, very interesting. I am using the same
stanza in my rules file since quite some time, and never got
any problems.

Hmmm, I don't see any of these cases:
binary-indep: build install
build: build-arch build-indep
build-arch: build-stamp
build-indep: build-stamp
build-stamp:
dh_testdir
./configure ....
....
make
install: install-stamp
install-stamp: build-stamp
dh_testdir
dh_testroot
dh_prep
DESTDIR=$(co) $(MAKE) install
...
so from what I see is that a call to
binary-indep
should do something useful, namely:
binary-indep -> build -> build-arch and build-indep -> build-stamp
-> do all the stuff
binary-indep -> install -> install-stamp -> copy the stuff
So there should something happen?

Is there a way to *try* it? I don't like playing around and tagging
and then seeing rejections and failures.
For now I don't see any big problem, and unfortunately your
explanations didn't work out for me - the didn't provide a solution.
So unless you come up with a better idea, I will leave it as it
is, since obviously the builders don't have any problem with it.
Thanks
Norbert
