Hi,
As mentioned at [1], using dpkg-buildflags --export from a makefile is
more trouble than one might like.

It would be simpler to do something closer to the current thing:

        CFLAGS := $(shell dpkg-buildflags --get CFLAGS)
        CPPFLAGS := $(shell dpkg-buildflags --get CPPFLAGS)
        CXXFLAGS := $(shell dpkg-buildflags --get CXXFLAGS)
        FFLAGS := $(shell dpkg-buildflags --get FFLAGS)
        LDFLAGS := $(shell dpkg-buildflags --get LDFLAGS)
        export CFLAGS CPPFLAGS CXXFLAGS FFLAGS LDFLAGS

except that the dpkg-buildflags documentation suggests this list is
not necessarily exhaustive.

Would it make sense to provide a /usr/share/dpkg/buildflags.mk for
makefiles to include that would expand to incorporate whatever flags
are supported at a given moment?  This would be closer to the
usability of the idea Manoj and some others advocated last year[2].
