   Bug#983539: false positive (.DEFAULT?) E

   I just stumbled on this bug report-   
      
   > I wrote an analysis on the bug last year, but in summary I believe this   
   GNU-specific construct:

   While this is technically correct, is there a reason that you do not wish to   
   use "%"?   
   I ran a search [1] and I don't see even a single package in the archive that   
   uses .DEFAULT rule.   
      
   Hence I am unsure if adding this is resulting in any advantage here.
