Download the source package and look for a rules file in the debian
directory.
eg:-
# apt-get source vlc
# cat vlc-1.1.3/debian/rules
====================================================================
#!/usr/bin/make -f
DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE ?= $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)
DEB_HOST_ARCH ?= $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH)
DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE ?= $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE)
DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS ?= $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH_OS)
<snipped>
binary: binary-indep binary-arch
.PHONY: build clean install binary-indep binary-arch binary
=======================================================================
