Bug#29208: rc_1.5b2-0.3(frozen): doesn't remove debian/files
Package: rc
Version: 1.5b2-0.3
The package rc doesn't remove the file debian/files in the 'clean'
target of debian/rules, as the packaging manual demands.
Due to this, the file slips into the Debian source diff and will also
be unpacked together with the source later. But that file contains
the filenames of the *binary* packages the source maintainer last
produced, most probably for i386.
If then the package is recompiled for some other architecture,
dpkg-genchanges will give an error at the end of the build that it
can't find the i386 .deb's.
The fix is easy: Just remove debian/files in the clean target, most
likely together with debian/substvars and debian/tmp.
