# `missing-build-depends-for-clean-target-in-debian-rules`

The specified condition must be satisfied to run the `clean` target in `debian/rules`.

Please add a suitable prerequisite to `Build-Depends` (and not `Build-Depends-Indep`) even if no architecture-dependent packages are being built.

The condition you see in the context is not a recommendation on what to add. If you see a list, more than likely only one member is needed to make this tag go away. You probably also do not need the `:any` multiarch qualifier, if you see one.

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
Renamed from: | `clean-should-be-satisfied-by-build-depends`
