But dh_testroot is part of the clean target in the examples that come
with debhelper, and therefore probably in *every* debhelper-based
package in Debian (which is the vast majority of packages). Why
single out the poor slang developer to pick on?
Now don't get me wrong, I don't want to discourage people from filing
bug reports. Filing bug reports is generally a Good Thing, and I wish
more people did it. But if there's some ambiguity involved, it can't
hurt to post to d-devel first (or in the case of policy-related issues
like this one, to d-policy), and say, "hey, this looks like a bug to
me, can anyone comment?"
