--- Begin Message ---Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.20.9 Severity: wishlist Hello. This pattern seems common: debian/rules: override_dh_gencontrol: dh_gencontrol -- "-VBuilt-Using:P1=`dpkg-query -Wf'$${source:Package} (= $${source:Version})' P2`" debian/control: Package: P1 Built-Using: ${Built-Using:P1} It would be convenient and less error-prone to write: Package: P1 Built-Using: P2 and trust dpkg-gencontrol to replace P2 with the output of dpkg-query -Wf '${source:Package} (= ${source:Version})' P2 debian/rules could still use variables, but would not be forced to deal with dpkg-query anymore. override_dh_gencontrol: dh_gencontrol -- -VBuilt-Using:P1=$(if TEST,P2) Especially, conditions depending on architectures or build profiles could be expressed directly within debian/control: Built-Using: P2 [!arm64] The rewriting should only affect valid package identitiers without version restriction (after variable substitutions and architecture or profile restrictions). Since the Policy requires values matching 'SOURCE (= VERSION)', single identifiers are currently invalid. Hence, the change would not affect existing packages or, more generally, explicit values from the maintainer.
