debhelper not using debian/<package>/
Why is debhelper using debian/tmp/ as build directory, instead of
debian/<package>/?
The debhelper documentation agrees with my experience, that it uses
debian/<package>/ by default, but one of my packages is using
debian/tmp/, without "-P" or "--tmpdir" options anywhere. Has anyone
else experienced this?
It is a kernel module source package; I build it using make-kpkg. I
used dh_make to create it. Here it is, FWIW
(http://newcgi.sfu.ca/~jdbates/debian/pool/bluetooth-alsa/bluetooth-
alsa-source_200412050-1_all.deb)
Is it possible to test for debhelper's build directory in my
debian/rules? To use "INSTALL_MOD_PATH=$(DH_BUILDDIR)/", instead of
hardcoding "INSTALL_MOD_PATH=$(CURDIR)/debian/$(pmodules)/" or
"INSTALL_MOD_PATH=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp/"?
Many thanks,
Jack
