i've tried that but it failed for me, so i concluded that dh_fixperms 
cannot have suffixes, which is apparently wrong - thanks for correcting 
me.

For the remaining "dpkg-buildpackage -A" problem, why don't you do
something like this?

It's simple and elegant.

Thanks.

Hi,

unfortunately dh_fixperms doesn't know a -indep suffix, and running the
chmod should happen after fixperms is run.. so.. for the time being i'm
using this to fix it:

Bug#848351: netdata: FTBFS: cannot create .../netdata-data/...

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Source: netdata
Version: 1.3.0+dfsg-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

Builds of netdata covering only its architecture-dependent binary
package (as on the autobuilders, or with dpkg-buildpackage -B) have
been failing:

  echo 0 > 
/«BUILDDIR»/netdata-1.3.0+dfsg/debian/netdata-data/usr/share/netdata/web/version.txt
  /bin/sh: 1: cannot create 
/«BUILDDIR»/netdata-1.3.0+dfsg/debian/netdata-data/usr/share/netdata/web/version.txt:
 Directory nonexistent
  debian/rules:34: recipe for target 'override_dh_install' failed

Could you please take a look?  I'd suggest splitting
override_dh_install into -arch and -indep variants.

Thanks!
