Bug#1105620: scilab: FTBFS with make --shuffle=reverse: make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'modules/libscilab.la', needed by 'scilab-bin'. Stop.

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.

More information about this mass bug filing is available at
https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS/Shuffle

Relevant part (hopefully):
> make[1]: Entering directory '/build/reproducible-path/scilab-2024.1.0+dfsg'
> debian/rules:53: update target 'override_dh_auto_build' due to: target does not exist
> cd scilab && make all doc
> make[2]: Entering directory '/build/reproducible-path/scilab-2024.1.0+dfsg/scilab'
