It didn't seem right probably because of being used to the way
autotools work and this is different. What seemed dirty was having to
"mkdir build" and "rm -d" etc within debian/rules. I can see
advantages having the build area completely separate from the source
as it ensures that source will not be touched during build and makes
cleaning a trivial directory delete. Any examples of an invocation of
cmake from debian/rules for build and clean? as i would be quite
interested to see if I am doing it correctly or not.
