Hello,
I even like this a little bit. I only need to glance one second on
this and I instantly recognize the pattern "Generated by dh_make", and
because I have seen a lot of these I know exactly how this specific
debian/rules works.
_Imvvvvvho_ this is really a matter of taste and not one of even
cosmetic deficiency, it neither makes it more difficult to understand
what is going on nor does it harm functionality in any way.
