I think sticking with an env will make it much easier for some one to just use dpkg-buildpackage (without modification) and call it like: BUILD_DEBUG=y && dpkg-buildpackage -B I think this is as far as policy should go on the requirements. Internally, the debian/rules file can do whatever it wants, so long as it either, a) honors the old policy regarding building with -g by default, or b) honors this environment variable. Ben
