These both are verbatim from the output of dh_make. You could
file a bug there, but the maintainer would probably agree with
me that more comments in debian/rules is better than fewer. You
could also suggest a rule for lintian that complains about
dh_make-like constructions in rules, similar to what it does
for debian/copyright and others. I actually changed the format
of a perfectly good debian/copyright file to make lintian shut
up.
Perhaps the people responsible for these apparently bugless and
lintian-clean packages are now fixing real bugs.
