Hi, This seems like a legitimate bug. What happens is that debhelper notices that base-files explicitly defines an install target and recurses into that (dh, unlike policy, also defines an "install(-arch|-indep)" sequences as a part of the "binary" target). However, being a "sequence" target, dh does not define "DESTDIR" for that call (it assumes the install target will eventually trigger the upstream build system plus run dh_install*). This case would only trigger if you do a "debian/rules binary". So this would probably build fine as a source-only or source + all upload (as dh concludes it should only care about the "install-indep" sequence in the arch:all build and "install-arch" on the rest of the builds). The simple solution is probably to just rename the "install" target to something other than "install", "install-arch" and "install-indep". Thanks, ~Niels
