Bug#1054040: cups: 'make clean' fails in man/Makefile - master file 'backend.7' does not exist
Package: cups
Version: 2.4.2-3+deb12u4
Severity: minor
Tags: l10n
Whilst cherry-picking an upstream commit to Bookworm (2.4.2-3+deb12u4)
to fix #1039983 I discovered an 'un'build failure doing either:
debian/rules clean
make clean
...
Cleaning in man...

It looks like
debian/patches/0016-Debian-po4a-infrastructure-and-translations-for-manp.patch
assumes the clean target is operating in the build directory
(./debian/tmp/) where a 'master' man-page does exist.
