# `debian-rules-uses-wrong-environment-variable`

The rules file appears to be reading or modifying a variable not intended for use by package maintainers.

The special variables `DEB_*FLAGS_{SET,APPEND}` can be used by users who want to re-compile Debian packages with special (or non-standard) build flags.

Please use the `DEB_*FLAGS_MAINT_{SET,APPEND}` flags instead.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
Renamed from: | `debian-rules-should-not-use-or-modify-user-only-variable`
