I don't think that's a real problem.

Please try doing this after applying the patch I suggested:

debian/rules build

You will see that it does what it is supposed to do
(i.e. building the package).

If your intention is that "debian/rules build" builds everything from
scratch again if you do it a second time, you can't even do that
with dh because of dh's own stamping system.

For example, try "debian/rules build" on the hello package, then try
"debian/rules build" again, you will see that it does not do anything
the second time.

Thanks.
