That would be very useful, and you want it to be suitable for $(eval).
It's likely that you will have to support various escapings for it to be
suitable for sh eval, make eval, and maybe other languages.
something like:
dpkg-buildflags --export=[sh|make]
One would use it this way with the shell:
eval $(dpkg-buildflags --export=sh || echo exit $?)
and in make:
$(eval $(shell dpkg-buildflags --export=make || echo '$$(error dpkg-buildflags failed with code '$$?')')))
It's likely to be wise that the output "exports" the variables (as in
shell or make "export" feature to make this bit of the environment
available to sub-shells).
