That's a Makefile target and one specifically intended to override the default dh_auto_clean action (as explained in the dh manpage, a part of which I quoted). Judging from the squeeze dh_make source, a disabled example override_dh_auto_configure will be included in a generated Makefile. # debmake generated override targets # This is example for Cmake (See http://bugs.debian.org/641051 ) #override_dh_auto_configure: # dh_auto_configure -- \ # -DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) There's no code for disabling the default auto clean action in the tar file. > On 16/12/2015, Rainer Weikusat <[email protected]> wrote: >> Edward Bartolo <[email protected]> writes: >>>> On 15/12/15 21:00, Rainer Weikusat <[email protected]> >>>> wrote: >>>>> Some more remarks on the packaging efforts so far: The rules file in the >>>>> git repository is >>> >>>>> override_dh_auto_clean: >>>>> dh_auto_clean >>> >>> Hi, >>> >>> I am very hesitant about deleting this particular line as it has been >>> added to clean the sources after using dpkg-buildpackage. >> >> No matter what you believe about this, overriding a command with itself >> is a pointless exercise. dh_auto_clean will be invoked as part of the >> 'dh clean' sequence, cf > > Please, refrain from using offensive and vulgar expressions.
