Package: debhelper Version: 5.0.53 Severity: wishlist --- Please enter the report below this line. --- Hi,
I used dh-make to generate (among others) a debian/rules file for a package. In that file, the 'clean:' rule mentions "-$(MAKE) clean". The leading slash of that command causes lintian to complain about possible "make clean" errors being ignored during the package build. (debian-rules-ignores-make-clean-error) I'm reporting this as "wishlist", since debian/rules is supposed to be edited by hand anyway, so IMHO the presence of the leading dash is more a "lack of confort" than a bug. The problem is present in the single binary, multiple binary, library, and kernel module dh-make templates ; attached is a patch that corrects it.
