[Pkg-nginx-maintainers] Bug#1024892: nginx-dev: dh nginx_mod could export default LUAJIT_INC, LUAJIT_LIB, DEB_CFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND flags

[Jérémy Lal]

Package: nginx-dev
Version: 1.22.0+srcache-2
Severity: wishlist

While playing with building external nginx modules, like libnginx-mod-http-lua,
it occurred to me that nginx-dev debhelper addon could export those variables by default:
export LUAJIT_INC=/usr/include/luajit-2.1
export LUAJIT_LIB=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libluajit-5.1.so
export DEB_CFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND = -DLUA_DEFAULT_PATH=\"/usr/share/lua/5.1/\?.lua\;\"

That would simplify configuration of lua modules for nginx.

Also maybe the last flag should rather be
export CFLAGS += ...
