We'll probably have to keep /CurrentlyBuilding around for a while.  It's
used by both pkgbinarymangler and pkg-create-dbgsym (to my knowledge; if
you know of more, please list them here), and those would have to be
updated in all series, *including* the -security pockets, before we
could drop /CurrentlyBuilding entirely.  Still, it's certainly
straightforward to set additional environment variables.  I agree that
it would be nice to go that way, as the current approach is pretty
weird.

Do you have a proposal for what we could do to supersede the use of
/CurrentlyBuilding in pkgbinarymangler?

In comment #1, you suggest setting ENABLE_DBGSYM; in comment #3, you
suggest setting DH_BUILD_DDEBS.  Which is preferable?  As far as I can
see neither is supported by upstream debhelper (ENABLE_DBGSYM is a key
in the internal %dh hash, not an environment variable).
