Ok. I didn't know that this is something that can be done at all.
(source only uploads). I am not reading flamy d-d, due to - lets
say - personal reasons.

Well, but this is what is supposed to do when we have to
provide upgrade path, so that is not a reason to complain, but
a failure - or problem with the separate arch=all builder, and
not a bug in the package.

Again, isn't that a problem of dh itself? We are using normal dh:
%:
dh $@ --with autoreconf --builddirectory Work
So if there is something wrong, my guess is that it is with
the dh scripts!

Indeed, that is what I am doing. COmmitted already to the repo.
But you might check up with debhelper devs to see whether there
is a dh problem wrt build_(*.
Thanks a lot
