>From the Debian policy:
"If one or both of the targets build-arch and build-indep are not
provided, then invoking debian/rules with one of the not-provided
targets as arguments should produce a exit status code of 2. Usually
this is provided automatically by make if the target is missing."

This is the behaviour exhibited by libgnujmi-java so in the absence of
a reference to a statement from the release managers, this is not a
bug.
