doc tweak re target dependencies
If a rules file has a custom install or binary target, those targets still need to explicitly depend on the build target. Unless dh is used in such a target (which it probably is of course). It's not possible to avoid the need for those dependencies. A rules file with a hand-written binary target simply does not run dh, so dh can do nothing to help it run the build target. Reword the docs to not give the wrong impression that dh somehow magically makes that work.
