debian/rules and DEB_BUILD_PROFILES vs _OPTIONS
It seems that "nocheck" and "nodoc" can be used with both variables.
However, which one is to be used in debian/rules recipes? Or both, as
suggested here [1]?
Looking at random packages, newer packages seem to favor just checking
DEB_BUILD_PROFILES to conditionally build documentation, but that would
mean that DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS as recommended by policy is not honored.
Or do dpkg or debhelper apply some kind of mapping logic from _OPTIONS
to _PROFILES for the popular options nocheck, nodoc, noopt?
Or are we supposed to transition to just _PROFILES in the long term?
