Bug#631786: lintian: Verify that packages do not use/set DEB_*_SET / DEB_*_APPEND to influence dpkg-buildflags
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.1
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
dpkg-buildflags can use some environment variables
DEB_(CFLAGS|CXXFLAGS|FFLAGS|CPPFLAGS|LDFLAGS)_(SET|APPEND) to influence
the flags that it outputs.
But those variables are meant for users would are recompiling the package
not for package maintainers. Any use of those variables in debian/rules
is an error that lintian could report.
Cheers,
