"debian/rules binary" and "debian/rules build" still works, the build
system is just not idempotent thus making dpkg-source to fail. This is
not considered RC.

As I already explained in #679511, you are recommended to use
git-buildpackage.

I will merge any patches to improve this, but I will not waste my time
by making non-git-buildpackage builds to work perfectly.

Cheers,
