The last file we need to look at is ``rules``. This does all the work for creating our package. It is a Makefile with targets to compile and install the application, then create the ``.deb`` file from the installed files. It also has a target to clean up all the build files so you end up with just a source package again.

Here is a simplified version of the rules file created by ``dh_make`` (which can be found in the ``dh-make`` package):

Let us go through this file in some detail. What this does is pass every build target that ``debian/rules`` is called with as an argument to ``/usr/bin/dh``, which itself will call all the necessary ``dh_*`` commands.

``dh`` runs a sequence of debhelper commands. The supported sequences correspond to the targets of a ``debian/rules`` file: "build", "clean", "install", "binary-arch", "binary-indep", and "binary". In order to see what commands are run in each target, run::

Commands in the binary-indep sequence are passed the "-i" option to ensure they only work on binary independent packages, and commands in the binary-arch sequences are passed the "-a" option to ensure they only work on architecture dependent packages.

Each debhelper command will record when it's successfully run in ``debian/package.debhelper.log``. (Which dh_clean deletes.) So dh can tell which commands have already been run, for which packages, and skip running those commands again.

Each time ``dh`` is run, it examines the log, and finds the last logged command that is in the specified sequence. It then continues with the next command in the sequence. The ``--until``, ``--before``, ``--after``, and ``--remaining`` options can override this behavior.

If ``debian/rules`` contains a target with a name like ``override_dh_command``, then when it gets to that command in the sequence, ``dh`` will run that target from the rules file, rather than running the actual command. The override target can then run the command with additional options, or run entirely different commands instead. (Note that to use this feature, you should Build-Depend on debhelper 7.0.50 or above.)
