Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.75
Severity: normal

Ohai,

I think the check for debian-rules-is-dh_make-template instroduced in
d0fec9183b5977fa8f5e0a779631bb140ee3415d is too broad.
Just because d/rules has '# See debhelper(7) (uncomment to enable)' as
the second line, does not mean the author did not modify it.

Actually, looking at the current dh_make template [1], I see no reason
why this should not be used verbatim in most packages that require no
special handling.

lintian.d.o currently lists 328 packages where this tag is applied [2],
at least for tlp [3] and acpi-call [4] (which I sponsor), I know that
d/rules is modified. Same applies to my own tuned [5] and tp-smapi [6].

Thanks for taking care of lintian and Debian
Evgeni
