I believe, I can define these variables just for one command, like: NAME='#NAME#' /lib/runit-helper/runit-helper Is it acceptable solution? -- Note, that I send and fetch email in batch, once in a few days.

Bug#938968: dh-runit: namespace pollution in maintainer scripts
Package: dh-runit Version: 2.8.13.2 The dh-runit helper exports the NAME, ENABLE and SINCE variables from the maintainer script. These variable names are very generic and could potentially be used by other scripts called from the maintainer script. I guess you are stuck to support these variables in runit-helper for current maintscripts, but consider giving them a suitable prefix in future releases. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.3.0-rc6-nouveau (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- no debconf information
