Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.19.0.5 Severity: normal There seems to be an inconsistency in the handling of BUILD_OPTIONS by dpkg-buildpackage, in regards to the alternative DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS and DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS handled by dpkg-buildflags.
lintian warning debian-rules-sets-DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS instructs us to use DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS in debian/rules, not DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS (which can be set by the user). But dpkg-buildpackage only uses DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS and ignores DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS. Should dpkg-buildpackage be updated to use DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS? -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.16.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages dpkg-dev depends on: ii binutils 2.30-21 ii bzip2 1.0.6-8.1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.0.5 ii make 4.2.1-1 ii patch 2.7.6-2 ii perl 5.26.2-6 ii tar 1.30+dfsg-2 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.3 Versions of packages dpkg-dev recommends: ii build-essential 12.5 ii clang-3.8 [c-compiler] 1:3.8.1-27 ii fakeroot 1.22-2 ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:7.3.0-3 ii gcc-6 [c-compiler] 6.4.0-17 ii gcc-7 [c-compiler] 7.3.0-22 ii gnupg 2.2.8-1 ii gnupg2 2.2.8-1 ii gpgv 2.2.8-1 ii libalgorithm-merge-perl 0.08-3 Versions of packages dpkg-dev suggests: ii debian-keyring 2018.06.04 -- no debconf information
