build profiles would be a better fit for such a mechanism. You could then even conditionally include or exclude build dependencies depending on whether or not the build profile "nosystemd" is active or enable or disable certain binary packages being built. This would "abuse" build profiles to work more like Gentoo USE flags. I talked about that idea a bit in this thread: http://lists.debian.org/20141212114840.15300.27739@hoothoot I'm not endorsing this idea but just wanted to point out that this would be a technically superior solution to encoding this in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. This would for example also make it possible for downstreams of Debian which want a "systemd free" derivative to contribute their modifications back into Debian. The only difference they would then have is, that their buildds would build packages with DEB_BUILD_PROFILES=nosystemd set. cheers, josch
