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?


Thanks,

Michael
