Um, why not just have something like this:
build-fonts: configure
cd build-tree/xc/fonts && $(MAKE)
install-fonts: build-fonts
cd build-tree/xc/fonts && $(MAKE) install
(specs as above)
binary-all:
[...]
build-fonts
[...]
install-fonts
If you still wanted to retain the MANIFEST stuff, you could have
debian/tmp.arch, and debian/tmp.indep, and a MANIFEST.indep.
Am I missing something?
