Actually, this package does not even have a "build" target.
The reason "dpkg-buildpackage" works at all is that "build" is marked
as a PHONY target and make says this:
make: Nothing to be done for 'build'.
(instead of just failing).
The build works because the different binary-* targets depend on
several build-* targets, but this makes most of the build to be done
as root, which is generally undesirable (see Bug #806654 for an example).
As usual, I recommend switching to "dh", but in the meantime, the
attached trivial patch should make "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and
"dpkg-buildpackage -B" to work again.
Thanks.
