I would suspect this is caused by the commit[1] replacing homebrow
with new debhelper 13 features.

The commit renames debian/*.links.in files to debian/*.links
but apparently misses replacing all the occurances of @FOO@ with
the new ${env:...} alternatives.

Solution would thus be either rename them back to *.links.in to
be processed again, or fully replace all occurances of @ with ${env:...

Adding Marco to CC hoping he will pick this up.
