Subject: libdb1 1.85.4-3 : sources broken (?)

Package: libdb1
Version: 1.85.4-3

Hello, while trying to port libdb1 to sparc architecture, I can't generate
binary packages with success.
I ran these commands:
	debian/rules clean
	debian/rules build
	debian/rules binary
First & second are ok, but the last builds an empty libdb1 package.  In fact,
shared library is placed in libdb1-dev.
Since my sparc system isn't really stable, I tried a build on my PC: same
problem appeared.

Below, I included output of "debian/rules binary" and contents of each binary
package if it can help you.
I use the last Debian tools:
  dpkg / dpkg-dev 1.4.0.7
  debmake 3.0.0

I'm not really familiar with the last tools required to be Debian compliant,
therefore I don't want to patch the build process myself. So, could you send
me a patch that address this problem ?
Also, before an update to master, I'll send you a patch allowing compilation
on sparc.

Thanks in advance.
Eric.
