[pve-devel] [PATCH tar 2/5] Don't pass the '--print-directory' MAKEFLAGS to debian/rules

Calling a sub Makefile from a top Makefile causes
make to pass a default 'w' flag aka print-directory.
However debian/rules in tar packages use these inherited MAKEFLAGS
without prepending a dash, causing the 'w' string to be interpreted
as a target.

The error is then as such:

RSH="/usr/bin/rsh" CPPFLAGS="`dpkg-buildflags --get CPPFLAGS`" CFLAGS="`dpkg-buildflags --get CFLAGS` -Wall" \
    LDFLAGS="`dpkg-buildflags --get LDFLAGS`" /usr/bin/make w -j --jobserver-fds=3,4
    make[2]: Entering directory '/home/e.kasper/pve/tar/tar-1.28'
    make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'w'.  Stop.

As discussed in debian-devel in https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/04/msg00279.html
the problem comes from the tar debian/rules passing $(MAKEFLAGS) manually when it shouldn't
