I'm not sure if this should be a new bug, but this one is close enough.cdbs (debhelper.mk) provides install/binarypackage targets for each binary package. However, it does not provide the install target which sometimes is very useful. Adding it should be a matter of adding:install:: $(patsubst %,install/%,$(DEB_ALL_PACKAGES)) Somewhere in debhelper.mk
Providing a new make target has a risk of clashing with existing target of same name but of different type - i.e. above will break packages currently crestihng an install: target (using single colon).
Also, I dislike the debhelper.mk rule to implement generic convenience targets not used by itself. If generally useful they might make sense to implement in some core place - but only if not risking clash with local rules files as I fear is the case here.
Leaving the bug open for now to encourage more discussion. Regards, - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
