[ Bcced to -devel and -dpkg, discussion should happen on -policy ] Hello,
we have an unfortunate situation where the practice in dpkg-buildpackage and the policy do not match fully. I tried to summarize the problem here: http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/DebianRules I want to resolve this problem. I see two solutions: * either we modify policy to mandate the set of environment variables that dpkg-buildpackage sets * or we roll-back changes to dpkg-buildpackage and design something else that provide the same feature in terms of distribution-wide control of default build options. (I ignore the DEB_VENDOR feature, it can be easily replaced with dpkg-vendor but the build options case is much more tricky to get right) In terms of efforts, the first solution is the easiest. But we aim at the _right_ solution so feel free to design something that makes the second solution viable.
