Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the request, but this is inside-out, dpkg-buildpackage always calls debian/rules (and never the other way around) so whatever is set from within that file will not be visible to the outter process. dpkg-buildpckage does not (and cannot) really care what you do with either of the variables in debian/rules. :) Barring some misunderstanding from my part, I'm planning on closing this report in a bit.
