Package: at76c503a Version: 0.14~beta1-1 Severity: serious Justification: no longer builds from source
While investigating why
make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --revision 1 modules
fails to build a module package [1] (it touches the very same KERNEL_PATH
check, so I won't file another bugreport), I tried to rebuild at76c503a in
a pbuilder environment which has of course no kernel sources for the running
kernel installed.
fakeroot debian/rules binary
dh_testdir
dh_testroot
dh_clean -k -i
dh_installdirs -i
mkdir -p
/tmp/buildd/at76c503a-0.14~beta1/debian/at76c503a-source/usr/src/modules/at76c503a/debian
# Upstream should know best which files to distribute

make: *** [install-indep] Error 2
pbuilder: Failed autobuilding of package
The upstream Makefile unconditionally checks for:
KERNEL_PATH ?= $(shell readlink -f /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build)
ifeq (,$(KERNEL_PATH))
$(error Kernel tree not found - please set KERNEL_PATH)
endif
VERSION_HEADER = $(KERNEL_PATH)/include/linux/utsrelease.h
ifeq (,$(wildcard $(VERSION_HEADER)))
VERSION_HEADER = $(KERNEL_PATH)/include/linux/version.h
ifeq (,$(wildcard $(VERSION_HEADER)))
$(error Kernel in $(KERNEL_PATH) is not configured)
endif
endif
even for "make dist", which is invoked while building the at76c503a package.
Likewise "$(error Kernel in $(KERNEL_PATH) is not configured)" is triggered
if there is no kernel source for $(uname -r) installed
$(MAKE) $(MAKE_OPT) KERNEL_PATH=$(KSRC)
in debian/at76c503a-source.rules is not honored while building with make-kpkg.
