Hi Dmitry,
thanks for the bugreport. This is always a problem when upstream includes
autogenerated files which are cleaned as part of 'make clean' into the tarball.
I'll try talking to them. Because I am not really in favor of doing all sort of
backup/restore in the maintainer scripts.
However if you have a working patch I would include it :). Meanwhile I would
recommend you to develop using the git repository and git-buildpackage.
It makes such things much easier.
O.
P.S.: I'll definitely agree with you that this is a bug, but it's not
a priority for
me and unfortunately I really need to spend time on more important bugs
(when I have a time for Debian at all).
