This can be fixed by adding a build-dependency on yacc.

It does: should I bother requesting a freeze exception for this?

Indeed. The openbgpd upstream source packages are inconvenient because 
they contain generated files, but then distclean deletes them.
I would like to delete the generated files at build time to make sure 
that I do not make this mistake again, but it is not trivial since the 
Makefile does not exist until configure is run.
Is there an established design pattern for this situation?

Justification: fails to build from source twice in a row

Hi,

openbgpd/experimental fails to build twice in a row. (I haven't checked
whether the version in sid has the same problem.)

The first build succeeds, a subsequent make distclean deletes
src/bgpd/parse.c:

...
Making distclean in src/bgpd
make[2]: Entering directory '/build/openbgpd-7.9/src/bgpd'
test -z "bgpd.8 bgpd.conf.5 parse.c" || rm -f bgpd.8 bgpd.conf.5 parse.c
...

the following dpkg-source reports the file as missing :

but the second build fails:

...
/bin/bash ../../ylwrap parse.y y.tab.c parse.c y.tab.h `echo parse.c | sed -e 
s/cc$/hh/ -e s/cpp$/hpp/ -e s/cxx$/hxx/ -e s/c++$/h++/ -e s/c$/h/` y.output

make[1]: *** [Makefile:401: all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/build/openbgpd-7.9'
dh_auto_build: error: make -j3 returned exit code 2


Shouldn't that file be deleted and regenerated during a regular build,
too?
