Tag: illegal-variable Severity: error Check: debian/variables Explanation: With debhelper compatibility level >= 13 (and also dh-exec before it) several files in the ./debian folder support the expansion of variables. Unfortunately, people sometimes confuse the DEB_BUILD_* variables with the similarly-named DEB_HOST_* variables. . Some conditions are difficult to detect but it is never correct to use DEB_BUILD_MULTIARCH in debian/*.install or in debian/*.links. . Please use DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH instead of DEB_BUILD_MULTIARCH.
