Yeah but I was talking about a debian/rules like binary-indep: cmd1 cmd2 %: dh $@ Here, you can be sure that binary-indep is ignored. (In other words, there will only be a call from the build tools to "debian/rules binary" which will invoke "dh binary", which in turn will run "dh binary-indep", ... but not "debian/rules binary-indep". So one should mention somewhere that since the introduction of %: dh $@ some targets in debian/rules have become obsolete, and what one could do to achieve the old behavior with the new "syntax".
