Please try to find out what the problem is before writing a patch.

This is useless, since errors in that line will be ignored anyway.  If
you want that patch, please change that, too.

As I said in my previous mail to this bug, I'd rather understand why the
Makefile logic doesn't work here, instead of blindly applying a patch
that only cures symptoms.  Either there is a problem in Daniel's
pbuilder setup (in this case there is no bug).  Or there's something
else wrong with the Makefile, then this patch would not solve this bug.

I'm sure it doesn't, and am removing the patch tag.
