If you're sure that you want to use dh but .PHONY then just put into
your rules something like:
build-indep:
dh $@
build-arch:
dh $@
build: build-arch build-indep
No need for a stamp as dh is already producing stamps internally.
At second thought I'm not too sure what would happen if you'd put %: dh
$@ and also .PHONY into debian/rules. Considering the internal stamps of
dh that might also be an option.
Just out of curiosity: what are you stuffing into your .PHONY target
that you need to manually control?
