Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.41
Severity: wishlist

Running lintian on a .dsc built from a package that has a static
Makefile (i.e: doesn't use Autoconf or .configure) shows the following
warning:
"<foo> source: debian-rules-ignores-make-clean-error"

The -i option shows a deeper description of the problem and suggest to
change lines like this:
 -$(MAKE) distclean
into:
 [ ! -f Makefile ] || $(MAKE) distclean

This is not really required, given that for a static Makefile the test
is always false and make distclean is never actually exercised.
