Commit Message

Since commit 491b146d4c13 ("kbuild: builddeb: Eliminate debian/arch
use"), the direct execution of debian/rules fails with:

  dpkg-architecture: error: unknown option 'DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH'

I am not sure how important to support such a use case, but at least
the current code:

  dpkg-architecture -a$DEB_HOST_ARCH -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH

... looks weird because:

 - For this code to work correctly, DEB_HOST_ARCH must be defined.
   In this case, DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH is likely defined, so there is no
   need to query DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH in the first place. This is likely
   the case where the package build was initiated by dpkg-buildpackage.

 - If DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH is undefined, DEB_HOST_ARCH is likely undefined.
   So, you cannot query DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH in this way. This is mostly
   the case where debian/rules is directly executed.

If we want to run debian/rules directly, we can revert 491b146d4c13 or
add code to remember DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH, but I chose to remove the
useless code for now.

thanks.  Fixing the non-functional things is obviously a good thing.

Iff we'd like to be able to call debian/rules directly, do we really
have to remember DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH, or just DEB_HOST_ARCH?

In the latter case, might this be a sufficient way to allow calling
debian/rules again?

... but the more I think about it, I am not convinced that we want to
use the debian/arch file.  Actually I think it would be nice if we
strive for an architecture independent source package instead of
engraving the architecture even more.


Nevertheless, your patch looks good to me.

Kind regards,
Nicolas

Theoretically, if we know DEB_HOST_ARCH,
other DEB_HOST_* can be derived.


scripts/package/deb-build-option needs to know more DEB_* variables.

  DEB_HOST_ARCH
  DEB_BUILD_ARCH
  DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE

Not perfectly.
scripts/package/deb-build-option does not work as intended.

The source package _is_ arch-independent,
can be built for a single architecture because
the source package for upstream contains the .config,
which is configured for a particular architecture.
