Package: dpkg-dev Tags: patch The dpkg-architecture(1) manpage claims that architecture.mk "sets and exports all the variables" but in practice this isn't the case. Here's a change that fixes that [1]:

Except for exporting these variables, no other behavior is changed. [1] https://salsa.debian.org/nottheoilrig-guest/dpkg/commit/1d1cd0a5f1dc11dc27c4423c1ca5f07eb4782a3d
