# `debian-rules-sets-dpkg-architecture-variable`

The `debian/rules` file sets one or more `dpkg-architecture` variables such as `DEB_BUILD_ARCH`.

These variables are pre-initialized in the environment when running under `dpkg-buildpackage` - avoiding these assignments can reduce package build time.

Please use:

    include /usr/share/dpkg/architecture.mk

instead, or replace the assignment operator with `?=`.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
