though, using dpkg-buildpackage is not mandatory, a package should be
able to build with just `debian/rules binary`. In such case SDE
wouldn't be exported.
This looks fairly similar to e.g. DEB_HOST_ARCH & friends variables,
that even if they are exported by dpkg-buildpackage you should set them
in d/rules nonetheless.
At least, that's what my AM told me back then ^^
