I tried both. I think the variable is expanded the moment it occurs on
the dependency line of a rule, thus exactly at the next after the
variable is set. Thus if I put the variable in front, it will be
overriden, and if I put it afterwards, the wrong value was already
expanded.

The problem I want to solve is that, although cdbs follows policy here,
reality is that "dpkg-buildpackage -B" calls "build" (not "build-arch"),
and I don’t want to run the build-indep stuff in this case.

Greetings,
Joachim
