Package: debhelper
Version: 7.2.14

I'm using the new (and wonderful) dh sequencing stuff for just about all
of my packages now. For several of them, the only thing I have to
customize is the removal of rpath information. If I were using old
debhelper and CDBS, I could simply add something like:

DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS := --disable-rpath

And all would be happy. It seems (to me) that either dh_auto_configure
should include --disable-rpath by default, or it should support some
sort of env variable to append configure options, since this is sort of
a common thing across autotools-managed library packages.

Of course, it's possible that not all configure scripts support
--disable-rpath, but that shouldn't be a problem. dh_auto_configure
already appends --disable-maintainer-mode which none of my packages
supports.

It's also likely that I'm completely wrong here. :)

Thanks for the great work!
Monty
