[Build-common-hackers] Bug#461369: cdbs: Please provide a common install:: hook

[Cyril Brulebois]

Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.50
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

in order to workaround the multiple vs single dh_install calls, I first
tried to put a blank dh_install call in an install:: hook, like below:
  install::
          dh_install --sourcedir=debian/tmp --autodest --list-missing

but then I noticed that no such hook exists, and that one has to specify
a binary, like:
  install/libfoobar-dev::
          dh_install --sourcedir=debian/tmp --autodest --list-missing

It would be much more clean if one wasn't forced to specify a given
(arbitrary) binary package there.

Thanks for considering.

Cheers,
