Bug#419446: debian-rules-missing-required-target false positive with phony targets

[Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>]

Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.28
Severity: normal

Marking a makefile target with .PHONY is enough to make it "present".
Therefore, lintian should not complain about a missing target that is marked
as phony.
