Package: dh-exec Version: 0.23 Severity: wishlist dear maintainer,
In some packages of mine I have a 'p' variable that contains the name of
the package that may be interesting in that context.
In one of those cases, I'd like to export that variable and use it in my
*.install and *.links files, but turns out I need to use the curly
brackets with ${p}. I'd like to use one-char variables without curly
brackets, the same way it can be done in makefiles (that's the reason
I'm using one-char variables really, to avoid the brackets).
To see the reason of this request you can look at the scribus and
scribus-ng (and outside of debian scribus-trunk) packages, that are
different branches of the same program, with identical build system, but
to be coinstallable needs to install in different directories. Yet, I'd
like to share the packaging as much as possible, to the point to be able
to just copy nearly everything.
Thanks for your software! :)
