Archive rebuild failures and the clean target
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
Hi,
I see "serious" FTBFS bugs appearing on my packages when people try to
rebuild the entire archive.
Those failures are due to attempting to run the clean target prior to
anything else.
While it's nice when debian/rules clean works even on already clean
source, it's by no means mandated by policy.
I think people who do full archive rebuilds should fix their scripts
to not clean before building, or file "wishlist" bugs instead of
"serious" when the failure occurs in the initial clean.
Regards, Thibaut.
