Because "make" != "sh" ?
Try this in your makefile:
test:
a() { echo "$$1-$$2"; }; a $(CFLAGS)
$ debian/rules test
a() { echo "$1-$2"; }; a "-Wall -g" -O2
-Wall -g--O2
Make keeps the "" in the variable itself while the shell would remove it
immediately at assignation. The end result is that CFLAGS contains the
quotes... and when you pass multiple arguments between quotes, they are
treated as a single argument.
