# `debian-rules-defines-dpkg-build-api`

`DPKG_BUILD_API` is an internal environment variable and should not be defined in the `debian/rules` script. The source package dpkg build API level cannot be properly declared in `debian/rules` because build drivers (such as dpkg-buildpackage) do not recognize it in this case.

Please remove the `DPKG_BUILD_API` declaration from the `debian/rules` script.

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