easy way to tell if "in" package build?

[othman@cs.wustl.edu]

Hi,


I just patched Debian's libtool to no longer encode library paths into
binaries if the binary is built on Debian systems, but I think the
patch is too limiting and it is only meant to be a temporary hack.  What
I'd like to do is disable library path encoding *only* if a Debian
package is being built, i.e. if libtool is executed in the middle of a
build started by debuild.

Can someone suggest a way to tell if we are in the middle of a Debian
package build?

Thanks,
-Ossama

BTW, please CC me since I am currently not subscribed to debian-devel.
