Lintian tag: debian-rules-calls-pwd

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The debian/rules file for this package appears to use the variable $(PWD)
to refer to the current directory. This variable is not set by GNU make
and therefore will have whatever value it has in the environment, which
may not be the actual current directory. Some ways of building Debian
packages (such as through sudo) will clear the PWD environment variable.

Instead of $(PWD), use $(CURDIR), which is set by GNU make, ignores the
environment, and is guaranteed to always be set.

Visibility: warning
Show-Always: no
Check: debian/rules
