I'm sorry, I meant dh_clean do not remove this directory. So if package is foo, then the build process would create debian/foo and install all the files in that directory tree. Upon dh_clean it should remove debian/foo, but it doesn't. If it was called debian/tmp it seems to work, but then I need to add -Pdebian/tmp to most dh_* commands in debian/rules.

Then those same worthless people will create new barriers based on access to source code, licenses, software permissions, etc. Sigh. -- Hans Reiser
