`git-buildpackage` 不调用 ./configure，为什么？

Question

我正在尝试创建我自己的 .deb 文件，但 git-buildpackage 似乎没有调用 ./configure 来构建它（我故意遗漏了一个依赖项，以便看到它失败，但它不会失败！）。

我这样称呼它：

git-buildpackage --git-builder="git-pbuilder"

输出的最后部分是：

原来 upstream tarball（和分支）没有 configure 文件，所以它只是跳过它（静默失败）。

tarball 有一个 autogen.sh 文件而不是 configure 文件的事实是上游的一个错误（他们实际上已经在 master 中修复了，他们知道他们的 make dist 过程是越野车）。要解决此错误以打包此错误版本，则必须将其添加到 debian/rules 文件中：

override_dh_auto_configure:
    ./autogen.sh
