AFAIK it's special for the debian kde pkgs. If you check the debian subdir you'll find:
> grep -d skip admin/debianrules debian/*
debian/rules:debian/debiandirs: admin/debianrules
debian/rules: perl -w admin/debianrules echodirs > debian/debiandirs
debian/rules: perl -w admin/debianrules echoglobals > debian/system.kdeglobals
Run those command without the redirection and you 'see' what they do ;)
The rules file is the Makefile that is used to build the package
(see http://www.de.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-dreq.en.html#s-rules)
Short story: debiandirs defines the environment and options for configure.
system.kdeglobals is later installed in /etc/kde3

To me vi is Zen. To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
You discover truth everytime you use it.
