Bug#709115: Please add Debian values as defaults for path variables

Package: arduino-mk
Version: 0.8-5
Severity: wishlist

The arduino-mk Makefile is very useful, but it requires some setup of
environment variables depending on where stuff is installed on your system.
The new version made it possible to define this in the environment, as opposed
to inside the Makefile, to make it easier to use the same Makefile on different
systems.  That was good.

On Debian, we know what the proper values of those variables are.  So instead
of bailing out with an error when the variables ARDUINO_DIR and ARDMK_DIR are
not defined, it should set them to the proper values (/usr/share/arduino and
/usr).

Thanks,
Bas
