Well, they are there so that you can tweak the output of dpkg-buildflags when the call happens in lower layer and that you have no control over the call and its output. And you must take care because $(shell dpkg-buildflags ...) will not see the DEB_CFLAGS_MAINT_PREPEND that you have set in the rules files. Either you do $(shell DEB_CFLAGS_MAINT_PREPEND=... dpkg-buildflags ...) or you use /usr/share/dpkg/buildflags.mk which does the right thing for you. > Not sure if this is really needed, but it seems to me that that is what > these variables were invented for :-) Maybe all the samples from Policy should be simplified to use the Makefile snippets...
