[Build-common-hackers] Bug#208673: cdbs behaves differently when the class is included before the rules

[Jordi Mallach]

Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.6
Severity: important

I finally found out why gnome-mud wasn't adding misc:Depends.

I am doing:

include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/gnome.mk
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk

And this doesn't make this condition in gnome.mk apply:

ifdef _cdbs_rules_debhelper
$(patsubst %,binary-install/%,$(DEB_PACKAGES)) :: binary-install/%:
        dh_scrollkeeper -p$(cdbs_curpkg) $(DEB_DH_SCROLLKEEPER_ARGS)
endif

I have looked over the CDBS readme and didn't see any requirement on classes
having to be included after the rules, so I guess this is a bug.

Thanks,
Jordi
