создавать бинарные пакеты или пакеты с исходным кодом из исходников (build binary or source packages from sources)
Примечание (Note)
Compiler flags are no longer exported
Between dpkg 1.14.17 and 1.16.1, dpkg-buildpackage exported
compiler flags (CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, FFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS)
with values as returned by dpkg-buildflags. This is no longer the
case.
Default build targets
dpkg-buildpackage is using the build-arch and build-indep targets
since dpkg 1.16.2. Those targets are thus mandatory. But to avoid
breakages of existing packages, and ease the transition, if the
source package does not build both architecture independent and
dependent binary packages (since dpkg 1.18.8) it will fallback to
use the build target if make -f debian/rules -qn build-target
returns 2 as exit code.
