Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.21.12 Severity: wishlist Hi,
for me it seems "obvious" that the way, in which build profiles are set, is documented in dpkg-buildflags(1). But it isn't. It's only mentioned dpkg-checkbuilddeps(1) and dpkg-buildpackage(1). It would be nice, if dpkg-buildflags(1) would at least contain a pointer to where documentation about build profiles can found. And maybe also why they aren't build _flags_ despite some of them, e.g. "noopt" and "nocheck", look similar on a first glance. Thanks in advance! -- Package-specific info:
