[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1105602: vmatch: FTBFS with make --shuffle=reverse: Fatal error: can't create ../lib/libfiles/kurtz-basic/verbosealpha.dbg.o: No such file or directory

Source: vmatch
Version: 2.3.1+dfsg-9
Severity: minor

Hi,

GNU Make now has a --shuffle option that simulates non-deterministic ordering
of target prerequisites. See
https://trofi.github.io/posts/238-new-make-shuffle-mode.html and also previous
work in Debian by Santiago Vila:
https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/make-shuffle/

This package fails to build with make --shuffle=reverse.
This is likely to be caused by a missing dependency in
debian/rules or an upstream Makefile.

Relevant part (hopefully):
