Package: firebird2 Version: 1.5.3.4870-2 Severity: wishlist I wish targets build-start and build-end in debian/rules not to exist.
The rationale is that they show in the build log, which usually has already a date in another format (made by sbuild, for example). So, in some sense, those dates are redundant, as autobuilders already care of timing the build. But there is more: I had a script which parses the build log and got confused by the extra "Build started" and "Build ended" strings, giving a wrong result (it says it takes 70470 seconds to build). So the strings are usually redundant, and even harmful in some cases. Could they be gone, please? I really believe timing the build should not be the job of debian/rules, as every decent build daemon already does that.
