[2] and [3] are "obsolete" in the sense that dpkg currently carries a work around to detect if the build-arch / build-indep targets are present. If that can be reliably detected for your d/rules then you shouldn't have a problem with adding/using these targets[4]. ~Niels [4] Either explicit targets (e.g. "build-arch:") and the catch-all target "%" works just fine AFAIK. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
