Um, why not just have something like this: build-fonts: configure cd build-tree/xc/fonts && $(MAKE) install-fonts: build-fonts cd build-tree/xc/fonts && $(MAKE) install (specs as above) binary-all: [...] build-fonts [...] install-fonts If you still wanted to retain the MANIFEST stuff, you could have debian/tmp.arch, and debian/tmp.indep, and a MANIFEST.indep.
