- --help
- Show the usage message and exit.
- --version
- Show the version and exit.
- -ccontrol-file
- Specifies the main source control file to read information from. The
default is debian/control.
- DPKG_BUILD_API
- The build API level to use. This is intended to be used internally by the
tools executed from debian/rules to avoid having to parse
debian/control multiple times, and not to set the global build API
level from debian/rules, otherwise build drivers (such as
dpkg-buildpackage(1)) cannot access it.
- /usr/share/dpkg/buildapi.mk
- Makefile snippet that will parse the build API level.
