Package: debhelper Version: 8.0.0 Severity: normal Hi Joey,
I think I found an error in debhelper in more complex situations when
I am removing packages from build on architecture/host basis.
When overriding dh_auto_clean it creates debhelper.log for package
listed in DH_OPTIONS as -N<package>.
Minimal test suite is attached.
After running ./debian/rules clean there is left-over file:
debian/test-doc.debhelper.log
which contains:
dh_auto_clean
line. Since it doesn't make any difference if I duplicate -N option
explicitly in dh_auto_clean call I suspect it might be 'dh' creating
the file.
Unfortunatelly the dh_clean command does honor the DH_OPTIONS and
doesn't clean this file.
I have solved this for now, by adding:
override_dh_clean:
DH_OPTIONS="" dh_clean
but it's hardly optimal.
O.
