Well, appending arguments to the commands is not something *all* dh_*
tools do. In this case, it's documented in the dh_auto_configure(1)
manpage:
SYNOPSIS
dh_auto_configure [build system options] [debhelper options] [-- params]
OPTIONS
See "BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS" in debhelper(7) for a list of common build system
selection and control options.
-- params
Pass params to the program that is run, after the parameters that
dh_auto_configure usually passes. For example:
dh_auto_configure -- --with-foo --enable-bar
I'd expect your dh_auto_configure to call only one program once, so it
shouldn't be hard to guess where it adds them. In a random package
using cmake I see:
dh binary-arch --with python3
...
debian/rules override_dh_auto_configure
make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
...
dh_auto_configure -- \
-DUSE_SYSTEM_LIBS=1 \
-DSYSTEM_LIBS_REQUIRED=1 \
-DINSTALL_BUNDLED_DICTS=0 \
-DMATHJAX_DIR=/usr/share/javascript/mathjax/ \
...
install -d obj-x86_64-linux-gnu
cd obj-x86_64-linux-gnu && cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=None -DCMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR=/etc -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LOCALSTATEDIR=/var -DCMAKE_EXPORT_NO_PACKAGE_REGISTRY=ON -DCMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_NO_PACKAGE_REGISTRY=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_RUNSTATEDIR=/run "-GUnix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -DUSE_SYSTEM_LIBS=1 -DSYSTEM_LIBS_REQUIRED=1 -DINSTALL_BUNDLED_DICTS=0 -DMATHJAX_DIR=/usr/share/javascript/mathjax/ ..
...
make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
dh_auto_build -a
...
i.e. the only two commands called by dh_auto_configure are `install` to
create the build directory, `cd` and `cmake` itself. So it's really
quite easy to figure to which of the emitted commands are the extra
arguments added to.
