This variable is not intended to be set in a rules file. It should be set in the environment of the maintainer who has decided to build directly from CVE or svn, and is aware of the issues, the hackiness, and the sorts of potential bugs that can result. The only exception to this rule, as documented in the debhelper man page is this it might possibly be worth putting in the rules file if the upstream tarball contains CVS or .svn diretories. The cases where that's atually useful is a very small (possibly nonexistant) subset of the small set of upstream sources that are so broken. Putting it in the rules file will encourage inappropriate use. (Also, you forgot to export it. :-P) -- see shy jo
