Bug#402604: debian/rules: "this is a kludge"

[Marc Haber]

Package: exim4-daemon-heavy
Severity: normal

debian/rules:
build-exim4-daemon-heavy/exim: configure-stamp
        echo build-exim4-daemon-heavy
        dh_testdir

        rm -rf $(BUILDDIR)/build-$(buildname)
        # Add here command to compile/build the package.
        mkdir -p $(BUILDDIR)/Local
        cp EDITME.exim4-heavy $(BUILDDIR)/Local/Makefile
        cd $(BUILDDIR) && $(MAKE) Local/Makefile configure
        # This is a kludge. The upstream Makefile should be fixed, really.
        cd $(BUILDDIR) && $(MAKE) -C build-$(buildname) checklocalmake Makefile os.h os.c config.h buildpcre buildlookups buildrouters buildtransports buildauths exim

Task: Find out why this is a kludge, whether upstream Makefile has
already been fixed or not. If yes, remove kludge and replace with
non-kludge. If no, file upstream wishlist request to have Makefile
fixed.

Greetings
Marc
