This is the debian/rules I have now:

touch debug-distribution-$(DISTRIBUTION)
ifeq ($(DISTRIBUTION),Ubuntu)
touch debug-release-$(RELEASE)
ifeq ($(RELEASE),14.04)
sed -i '/ha_oqgraph.so/d' debian/mariadb-server-5.5.install.in
endif
endif

The touch things are for debugging. Contents of the variables are defined as:

DISTRIBUTION := $(shell lsb_release -i -s)
RELEASE := $(shell lsb_release -r -s)


It works, I just wondered if you have any better ideas?
