Package: debhelper
Version: 4.9.8
Severity: wishlist
dh_make(1) generated currently uses hard coded package names in several
places, like:
install: build
...
install -d debian/beaver/usr/bin \
debian/beaver/usr/share/doc/beaver \
debian/beaver/usr/share/man/man1
SUGGESTION
The makefile coulld be better managed if at the top level there were:
PACKAGE = beaver
CFLAGS = -Wall -g
And te variable were used later on:
install: build
...
install -d debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/bin \
debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/share/doc/$(PACKAGE) \
debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/share/man/man1
Even better, why not abstract more:
PACKAGE = beaver
CFLAGS = -Wall -g
BINDIR = debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/bin
DOCDIR = debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/share/doc/$(PACKAGE)
MAN1DIR = debian/$(PACKAGE)/usr/share/man/man1
Which mean cleaner code:
install -d $(BINDIR) $(DOCDIR) $(MAN1DIR)
Similarly for other places which use paths that have PACKAGE component.
