Probably the same root cause as #887688 and #887664:

 debian/rules build
make: Nothing to be done for 'build'.

Doesn't look the same to me, perhaps some separate regression involving
--before/--remaining:

 debian/rules build
dh build --before dh_auto_configure
dh: The --before option is deprecated. Use override targets instead.
   dh_update_autotools_config
[ ! -f /build/1st/libtemplate-perl-2.24/lib/Template/Config.pm.orig ] && cp /build/1st/libtemplate-perl-2.24/lib/Template/Config.pm /build/1st/libtemplate-perl-2.24/lib/Template/Config.pm.orig
dh build --remaining
dh: The --remaining option is deprecated. Use override targets instead.

New and exciting weirdness, but possibly also only worked in the past
because of #880840 having not been fixed:

   debian/rules build
make[1]: Entering directory '/build/1st/monotone-1.1'
The build target is disabled, please use the appropriate binary target.

(And yet it uses the same override_dh_auto_build for both, so this hack
from 2007 is almost certainly wrong. I suspect that a rules file with
a working build target would be considerably shorter than the comment
that explains what is going on here...)
