An unpack target and a patch target are common conventions, but not universal. The bash-configure rule name isn't standard either: the common convention would be configure, not PACKAGENAME-configure. | |

I gather that the configure trick in my answer would be more compatible across packages, without needing to analyze debian/rules, is that right? If so, adding that to your answer will help others too. | |
