Hello, this issue was fixed in 1.6.6+ds-2 which is current in experimental: can we migrate cysingals 1.6.6+ds-2 to unstable ?

This is caused by debhelper had a bug in its handling of "explicitly defined rules targets" that has now been fixed. Previously, this happened to work because dpkg-buildpackage would invoke "debian/rules build" (which would be a no-op) followed by "fakeroot debian/rules binary". During the binary target, dh's suboptimal handling would run the build commands. The solution is trivial but less pretty; explicitly define "build" with the same content as the "%:" target (or rename the "build" folder and drop the ".PHONY" target). I have attached a patch for this. More details can be found in: * #886901 comment #35 * #887688 comment #37 * #880840 Apologies for the inconvenience. Thanks, ~Niels

Subject: [PATCH] Avoid empty build target
The dh sequencer as of debhelper/11.1 is stricter with this in order
to solve #880840 (where debhelper would fail to handle such targets
correctly).
