It's a virtual package with two functions: * Its only provider is the package that implements the ADDON sequence, so build-depending on dh-sequence-ADDON is enough to get it installed * Mentioning it in your Build-Depends{,-Arch,-Indep} tells debhelper to activate the relevant sequence during {all,arch-dep,arch-indep} builds, the same as "dh --with ADDON", without having to repeat yourself smcv
