debian/rules:
- I believe the "export DH_OPTIONS [...] to make magic work" can be
dropped. I think this is a remnant from a time long past; I can't find
any reference to this in recent documentation. dh(1), for example,
makes no mention of this. Second opinions welcome...
Right. It's no-op when you export DH_OPTIONS but never set it.
Also, debhelper manpage says:
"When using dh(1), it can be passed options that will be passed on to
each debhelper command, which is generally better than using
DH_OPTIONS."
For the curious, the origin of the "export DH_OPTIONS" pattern is this
d/rules example, where it was indeed required to make things work:
https://sources.debian.net/src/debhelper/8.0.0/examples/rules.multi2/
dh-make include similar d/rules skeletons, too.
