Package: debhelper Version: 13.1 Severity: wishlist I learned of remake today. remake --targets simply lists all the explicit targets of a makefile.
debhelper contains a much more ugly and fragile way to do it, in rules_explicit_target. I have never been happy about that, and if I were maintaining debhelper today, I'd replace that with a use of remake. It might also work out to replace exists_make_target with remake. That function is even more horrible (see long comment above it). But, remake only lists *explict* targets, which could be a problem if some makefile has an implicit target for "install" or "test" or "clean". I'm stuggling to imagine a reasonable makefile that does, but it's at least theoretically possible. -- see shy jo
