IMHO, this would be very confusing. If you want this, do not use dh sequencer at all and list all commands you need in debian/rules (conventional packaging method). If your suggestion is implemented, somebody else looking at the package will have hard time figuring out what commands will actually be run. If you want to skip only a few commands, use .PHONY overrides, e.g. only this line is enough: PHONY: override_dh_auto_test If you want to skip a bunch of sequential commands, you may also use --before / --until / --after. > This would speed up packaging in low end machines. If debhelper program has nothing to do, it will exit fast.

Since you want full control over sequence, use this method. -- Modestas Vainius <[email protected]>
