Package: debhelper Version: 8.0.0 Severity: wishlist I believe currently the build directory (e.g. "obj-i486-linux-gnu") as used by default in the cmake module is not exposed to debian/rules. I.e., it is not possible to reference it if debian/rules as to be augmented with some additional commands which require the build directory as part of the command line.
I am aware that one can override the build directory, but this looks like a work-around in my case. It might also be possible to wildcard it ("obj-*"), but that looks non-robust as well. If technically possible, would it be able to expose the build directory (e.g. either via $DEFAULT_BUILD_DIRECTORY or $builddir, as used internally) to debian/rules?
