when using a pipe you must redirect stderr to stdout on the right (that is
the left) side of the pipe.
debian/rules binary 2>&1 | less
this is not the same as redirecting to a file
debian/rules binary > /dev/null 2>&1
To understand the difference you must see that when using a pipe you have
two processes, where the pipe is set up before redirecting on either side
happens.
