Hmmm.

I tried the following:

---{debian/rules}---
#!/usr/bin/make -f

export MAKE:= make -f Makefile.linux

%:
	dh $@
---{debian/rules}---

And get the following error:

dh build
   dh_testdir
   dh_auto_configure
   dh_auto_build
Can't exec "make -f Makefile.linux": No such file or directory at
/usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Dh_Lib.pm line 215.
dh_auto_build: make -f Makefile.linux -j1 failed to to execute: No
such file or directory
make: *** [build] Error 2


Perhaps I don't understand the MAKE environment variable.
