I am not a possible sponsor (no-D{D,M} sorry) and i haven't
even reviewed your package closely, but i am relatively sure
your package doesn't honor buildflags ala CFLAGS correctly.
See dpkg-buildflags manpage, bits from dpkg [0] and some of
the recent discussions here.
(You will properly need to patch upstream Makefile through,
upstream is properly not that interested in this usecase…)
But to be not completely useless with this mail, let me
attach a patch for the initial issue reported in #493819.
(I uses this for a while for my local dwm package)
Fixing this would allow me to use the pristine dwm package
again (plus a few configs for my various target system).
Thanks for reviving the dwm packaging and
good luck finding a sponsor!
Best regards
