Bug Description

starting with 24.10, dpkg now passes in dpkg-buildflags

  -specs=/usr/share/dpkg/elf-package-metadata.specs

and specifying the package metadata json string in the specs file. This currently only works with GCC and not other compilers. To have quicker adoption for more binaries, please also export that preformatted string in an environment variable ELF_PACKAGE_METADATA, that can be picked up by other linkers and compilers.

choosing a deb-packaging neutral name for that enivronment variable, because it potentionally could be useful to embed such information into snap builds as well.
