I find that it's often better to do this in terms of "am I building
package X?" instead of "am I building arch: all packages?" because that
way, you will also get the correct answer when dealing with build-profiles.
We do this a lot in GNOME and GNOME-adjacent packages. Something like this
(in this case taken from gobject-introspection, and enabling/disabling
the gtk_doc option depending on whether we are building the -doc package):
built_binaries := $(shell dh_listpackages)
configure_options = ... options you use unconditionally ...
ifeq ($(filter %-doc,$(built_binaries)),)
configure_options += -Dgtk_doc=false
else
configure_options += -Dgtk_doc=true
endif
override_dh_auto_configure:
dh_auto_configure -- $(configure_options)
