The problem is that such a blacklist could include other invalid shell
characters: + comes to mind, but I don't know the entire set of
character which are allowed as shell variables, as opposed to the
valid make allowed chars.
Maybe a more appropriate way would be to, instead of filtering out the
-, filter by matching FLAGS (after the DEB_ prefix)?

You can do so like this:
% cat Makefile
dash = -
problem_$(dash) = 12345 # way 1
var = $(problem_$(dash))
v-2 = 2 # way 2
all:
echo $(var) $(v-2)
