I see, i was a little confused but your explanation made things clear to me. Thank you. Would linitian complain e.g. for example about those files? > Clean the build tree manually if you're worried about them (e.g. call > "fakeroot debian/rules clean"). dpkg-buildpackage will do so > automatically prior to build your package. I just ran "fakeroot debian/rules clean" after the build process, all files are gone. Thanks for your patience help and for answering my (maybe silly) questions!
