Hello.
The debian/rules file contains the following:
-- cut --
#!/usr/bin/make -f
# -*- makefile -*-
# Sample debian/rules that uses debhelper.
# This file was originally written by Joey Hess and Craig Small.
# As a special exception, when this file is copied by dh-make into a
# dh-make output file, you may use that output file without restriction.
# This special exception was added by Craig Small in version 0.37 of dh-make.
# Uncomment this to turn on verbose mode.
#export DH_VERBOSE=1
%:
dh $@
override_dh_auto_configure:
qmake -Wall
override_dh_auto_test:
-- cut --
This works on a Lenny system with some packages from Squeeze. The debhelper
package version on this system is 7.4.15. The dh_auto_target is skipped
[...]
# Skipping dh_auto_test - empty override
[...]
When I try the same source on a clean Squeeze system with debhelper version
7.9.1 the override targets did not work. In this case only "qmake" and not
"qmake -Wall" is executed and the package creation abourts due to the not
avaiable test target in the qmake generated Makefile:
[...]
dh_auto_test
make[1]: Entering directory `~/pmt/dbusIceConverter'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `test'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `~/pmt/dbusIceConverter'
dh_auto_test: make -j1 test returned exit code 2
make: *** [binary] Error 29
PS: Yes the manpage mentioned was dh(1), sorry for that.
Regards,
Dirk

As described in what manpage? Possibly the dh(1) man page? Are you using dh in
your rules file? Why did you not include a copy of your rules file in this bug
report?
Needless to say, dh still supports override targets. You must be doing
something wrong.
