Thank you so much for your answers. It happens that I tried to override dh_$stuff instead of dh_auto_$stuff, now i've got the desired result (debuild runs phing) and i've also learnt about how debuild works and the override dynamics by the maintainer's guide.

I don't mean to be rude, i think sending more info on this case would just make whoever wanted to help spend more time trying to figure it out what's wrong when i could just read some manual/docs pointed by someone, Colin and David's response allowed me to look for the right places. But since we've got here, I'm trying to change the vufind[1] current packaging scheme to make it debian-ready in case anybody wants to ship it on the repositories, I've already did some work to support php7 and mariadb (as i know this should be the stretch defaults) and changed the copyright to DEP-5. Right now there's a little problem on making the package buildable with debuild, they're using a phing target to make it, calling dpkg-deb -b under the hood. They don't have neither build or clean targets on build.xml and i wanna keep the rules changes as minimum as possible, so i will study some modifications on their build.xml file which lets the previous build system (they use $phing package) and debuild work together. Maybe it will be possible to ship vufind with Stretch. [1]https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind Samuel Henrique O. P.
