Package: simple-cdd
Version: 0.6.6
Severity: important

I'm putting this as important because it's a regression compared to
before the python rewrite and because the sample configuration files shipped
in the package make you believe that you can rely on this variable.

I'm referring to those lines for example in
/usr/share/doc/simple-cdd/examples/simple-cdd.conf.detailed.gz:

    #debian_cd_dir=$simple_cdd_dir/debian-cd
    #simple_cdd_temp="$simple_cdd_dir/tmp/"
    # export SPLASHPNG="$simple_cdd_dir/yourimage.png"
    #hd_img="$simple_cdd_dir/qemu-test.hd.img"

I just checked by putting "env >/tmp/foo" in the configuration file that I
passed to the --conf parameter and I confirm that "simple_cdd_dir" is not
set in the environment.

You can decide to set it or not, I don't really care but it should be either
documented and supported, or unsupported and with no misleading references
to it in the configuration file.

Cheers,
