[Bug 1926504] [NEW] [Possible bug] dpkg-XXX (where XXX is name) does not read env variables

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

The reported problem (who exist in the most versions of Ubuntu and
Debian) apply to the tools, who's name begin with "dpkg-". I'll give the
problem description, basing on the example of "dpkg-buildflags".

After running the dpkg-buildflags command with a propper parameter, in
the terminal is displayed a list of compiler, linker, etc. flags, who
differ themself from the ones with are set in the enviroment and with I
wanted to use (instead of the displayed ones).

The problem that the enviroment aren't read in any way thru this
programs and use only the "build-in" ones, with is a quite serrios issue
because it may create vulnerabilities in the created archives or even
software.
