There is a suggestion via a [user
var](https://bro-package-manager.readthedocs.io/en/stable/package.html#user-vars-field)
defined
[here](https://github.com/apache/metron-bro-plugin-kafka/blob/d1a09b6a50f20e5fa6cf5c758eea8b0d39ce65be/bro-pkg.meta#L16)
but it can be overridden during install. Whatever you provide gets passed
into the
[build_command](https://github.com/apache/metron-bro-plugin-kafka/blob/d1a09b6a50f20e5fa6cf5c758eea8b0d39ce65be/bro-pkg.meta#L5).
