Bug#834317: devscripts: please warn if DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS contains "-i -I" or similar

[Chris Lamb]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.16.6
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

If you take a look at:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=735377#44

Here, Holger hit a problem in the past because he had "-i -I" in the
DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS variable instead of in (I guess)
DEBUILD_LINTIAN_OPTS.

This was causing some files to be omitted from the binary, resulting
in some FTBFS. For example #834315.

Would it be possible to emit a warning if DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS
contains the above or similar?


Regards,
