I'm quite tired that people tell me I should read the bug report,
and make sure I'm aware of things.
FYI, I have read the full bug report, and downloaded the package
from snapshot.d.o to see what we were talking about.
What I found was indeed a package that had lots of hacks in the
debian/rules, but at the same time, absolutely all hacks where
carefully commented with the dh_* equivalent. In fact, I found it
very interesting to read, quite fun, and probably a good thing to
show to newbies so that they understand what's behind the dh
automagic "deliberate obfuscation". :)

Sure, let's move on...
