Hi,

I noticed that apertis modified the `debhelper` source package for this. This is of course a valid solution, I wanted to highlight that there should be less need for that with DH_EXTRA_ADDONS environment variable.

The ENV variable was developed for this purpose where people want to prototype something new or when do custom builds. Obviously, migrating to it now would only make sense if it would simplify matters when maintaining the addon.

Best regards, Niels

Thanks! I will take a look at DH_EXTRA_ADDONS, I guess it could simplify our work when will we have to rebase Apertis on a newer Debian release.

Best regards, Dylan
