In cooperation with Sven I wrote a bug report against the CDBS package, here
is the text of the report:
Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.32
Severity: serious
Hi
It should never be possible to call a target named debian/control ,
which will build a control file during the build. But this is possible
with cdbs, because the target has the name of a file which exists and then
the rules will call this target.
You have a cdbs package and for whatever reason turned on the play with
my debian/control in a bad way option. See #311724 for a long text on
that matter.
Small overview: The DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_DEBIAN_CONTROL option turned on
modifies Build-Depends, which doesn't affect the build that's running.
But it affects all following builds, which can be NMU, buildd builds
and worst case: security builds. You DO NOT want to have such a build
getting a different result (except for the small changes intended with
the build) just because there is now another thing in the
build-depends.
Two solutions for this:
Think about it and set the Build-Depends yourself. That's easy and you
can check them in pbuilder.
Do this only in a special target in debian/rules that is NEVER called
automagically. So you can check what it did before you start the real
build.
This is the text from the ftpteam which you can also find here:
