Hi,
this might be an odd request, but please consider it nevertheless.
There is a very popular web comic involving the make command:
http://xkcd.com/149/
It would not be useful, but entertaining, if the make command on Debian
would behave like this. So I’m proposing the following behaviour:
If make is run with the arguments "me a sandwich", and there is no
target called "me", the error message is replaced by "What? Make it
yourself.", if SUDO_COMMAND is unset, or "Okay." if that variable is
set.
I think this does not distrub any operations, as it only modifies the
error message. If there is a target called "me", make should behave
usual.
If you would be willing to include such a "feature", I’ll provide a
patch.
Thanks,
Joachim

I see no value to tracking this in Debian, so closing.
In other words, better if Debian users are surprised about it if
such a patch gets applied upstream. :)
