• Bug#1063641: dpkg-buildflags: please document how to enable/disable are

    Package: dpkg-dev
    Version: 1.22.4
    Severity: minor

    man:dpkg-buildflags(1) documents only how to specify multiple area
    features fot the same area with examples like:

    export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS=hardening=+pie,-fortify
    export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS=hardening=-all,+format,+fortify

    There is no documentation how to specify area features for different
    areas like "abi" and "hardening" at the same time.

    (This probably also leads to the question if one can specify

    hardening=+pie{something-for-abi}hardening=+fortify

    or if all area features have to be enabled/disabled at once.)
