Lintian tag: illegal-variable
Type: error
Description (from lintian-explain-tags
)
With debhelper compatibility level >= 13 (and also dh-exec before it)
several files in the ./debian folder support the expansion of variables.
Unfortunately, people sometimes confuse the DEB_BUILD_* variables with the
similarly-named DEB_HOST_* variables.
Some conditions are difficult to detect but it is never correct to use
DEB_BUILD_MULTIARCH in debian/*.install or in debian/*.links.
Please use DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH instead of DEB_BUILD_MULTIARCH.
Please refer to
https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation#Recipes_for_converting_packages
and Bug#983219 for details.
