Actually let me re-backtrack :D, after noticing now the optee-os, and how it is a pure direct ld(1) caller user, I guess providing this variable makes more sense, instead of having to off-load that to each potential package, and at worse, they will just need to be patched upstream in case of mixed usage anyway. So, I guess I'll keep the current dpkg change to introduce a new variable for direct calls. Thanks, Guillem
