[Build-common-hackers] Bug#339720: never call debian/control rule and build this file during the build

[Steve Langasek]

severity 339720 normal
thanks

Ironically enough, because this is CDBS itself doing this, which means there
is no build-dependency on an external tool that results in altering the
contents of debian/control, the regeneration of the control file is
absolutely idempotent; and because the regeneration is done as part of the
clean target, it's guaranteed that the file included in the source package
is the one used for building.  So there is no release-critical bug here.

Possibly no bug at all, but I'll leave it to the maintainers to decide
whether to close.

Cheers,
