Subject: lintian: dh-exec-subst-unknown-variable on dh-exec --with=filter
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2020 19:13:32 +0200
Package: lintian
Version: 2.83.0
Severity: normal

This .install file gives two lintian false positives:

#!/usr/bin/dh-exec --with=filter
nsight_systems/${env:NSIGHT_SYSTEMS_HOST_DIR}/          usr/lib/nsight-systems/
nsight_systems/${env:NSIGHT_SYSTEMS_TARGET_DIR}/        usr/lib/nsight-systems/
nsight_systems/Documentation/nsys-exporter/*            usr/share/doc/nsight-systems/   [amd64]

I: nvidia-cuda-toolkit source: dh-exec-subst-unknown-variable debian/nsight-systems.install env:NSIGHT_SYSTEMS_HOST_DIR
I: nvidia-cuda-toolkit source: dh-exec-subst-unknown-variable debian/nsight-systems.install env:NSIGHT_SYSTEMS_TARGET_DIR

The variable substitution is left to debhelper-compat 13, dh-exec is only
needed for the architecture filtering part.


Andreas

PS: dh-exec on the .docs file does not work due to the wildcard (#964754)
