[Bug 2054741] [NEW] dpkg-buildpackage ignores DEB_BUILD_PROFILES

[Luca Boccassi]

Public bug reported:

DEB_BUILD_PROFILES= can be used in Debian to specify a build profile to
use with dpkg-buildpackage. We want to use it in the systemd project to
build the upstream packages for the Ubuntu autopkgtest cloud CI on
Github. But in the Ubuntu's fork of dpkg, DEB_BUILD_PROFILES's value is
ignored and unconditionally swapped with 'noudeb'. This makes it
impossible to use package-specific profiles, and it's a regression w.r.t
Debian.

To reproduce it, simply print the content of DEB_BUILD_PROFILES in
d/rules in any package and build with DEB_BUILD_PROFILES=foo dpkg-
buildpackage.
