Bug#951187: proj: 'make distclean' deletes README which is not regenerated

[Andreas Beckmann]

Source: proj
Version: 6.3.1~rc1-1~exp1
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Hi,

proj/experimental FTBFS twice in a row. 'debian/rules clean' after the
first build removes 'README' via 'make distclean', but that file
is not regenerated during the second build causing the install target to
fail. I did not check whether the package in sid has the same problem.

        make -j3 distclean
