W: vsdump source: debian-rules-ignores-make-clean-error line 49
N:
N:   A rule in the debian/rules file for this package calls the package's
N:   clean or distclean target with a line like:
N:   
N:    -$(MAKE) distclean
N:   
N:   The leading - tells make to ignore all errors. Normally this is done
N:   for packages using Autoconf since Makefile may not exist. However,
N:   this line ignores all other error messages, not just the missing
N:   Makefile error. It's better to use:
N:   
N:    [ ! -f Makefile ] || $(MAKE) distclean
N:   
N:   so that other error messages from the clean or distclean rule will
N:   still be caught.
N:
W: vsdump source: configure-generated-file-in-source config.log
N:
N:   Leaving config.cache/status causes autobuilders problems. config.cache
N:   and config.status are produced by GNU autoconf's configure scripts. If
N:   they are left in the source package, autobuilders may pick up settings
N:   for the wrong architecture.
N:   
N:   The clean rule in debian/rules should remove this file. This should
N:   ideally be done by fixing the upstream build system to do it when you
N:   run the appropriate cleaning command (and don't forget to forward the
N:   fix to the upstream authors so it doesn't happen in the next release).
N:   If that is already implemented, then make sure you are indeed cleaning
N:   it in the clean rule. If all else fails, a simple rm -f should work.
N:   
N:   Note that Lintian cannot reliably detect the removal in the clean
N:   rule, so once you fix this, please ignore or override this warning.
