Lintian tag: missing-build-depends-for-clean-target-in-debian-rules

Type: error

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The specified condition must be satisfied to run the clean target in
debian/rules.

Please add a suitable prerequisite to Build-Depends (and not
Build-Depends-Indep) even if no architecture-dependent packages are being
built.

The condition you see in the context is not a recommendation on what to
add. If you see a list, more than likely only one member is needed to make
this tag go away. You probably also do not need the :any multiarch
qualifier, if you see one.

Please refer to Relationships between source and binary packages -
Build-Depends, Build-Depends-Indep, Build-Depends-Arch, Build-Conflicts,
Build-Conflicts-Indep, Build-Conflicts-Arch (Section 7.7) in the Debian
Policy Manual for details.
