Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.48
Severity: normal

  When using implicit rules, like %:, you won't see the target name
spelled out explicitly.

  The proper way to do is to use the -q gnu make feature to know for
sure if the target is here.

  debian/rules -nq <target-name> will return 0 or 1 if the target exists,
2 if not (0 means the target exists and is up 2 date, 1 that the target
exists and is _not_ up 2 date, and 2 that the target doesn't exist).

  Of course, this implies that debian/rules is  makefile, but AFAICT
it's always the case in Debian.
