Benjamin Drung (bdrung) wrote : ELF package metadata failures

The ELF package note metadata introduced in dpkg 1.22.6ubuntu11 (refined in 1.22.6ubuntu14) can cause this failure:

```
gcc fatal error: environment variable ‘DEB_HOST_ARCH’ not defined
```

This happens when the -spec parameter is set but the needed environment variables are not set. Cases:

1. Only the LDFLAGS is queried from dpkg-buildflags. Affected source packages builds: python3.12, openjdk-21, cdbs (causing dvbstreamer and rp-pppoe fail to build)

2. autopkgtests
