Comment (by cypherpunks):

 I'm currently working on fixing the `coverage_html` rule. I'd suggest to
 make this rule optionally available based on whether `--enable-coverage`
 has been given during build configuration. When coverage has not been
 enabled, the files needed by `lcov` aren't generated and it will fail.

 Keeping user-friendliness in mind, we could also display a message when
 this rule is called without coverage enabled.
