Thanks for pointing me to /usr/share/doc/debhelper/examples/rules.multi What is the purpose of binary-indep? The way I set up the Makefile (like in example/rules.multi) when I do a debian/rules binary-indep(or arch), the build target is made and the whole package is compiled, so there is no big won to use binary-indep(or arch)). Should I add a build-indep and a build-arch? If it save time to autobuilders, I will do it. However I check out some packages with -doc, and they don't happen to do it. Bill. (please CC:)
