[Ravi Kant Sharma]

Please export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS=qa=-elfpackagemetadata in dxvk
debian/rules file to disable the package-metadata. It is not supported
in w64-mingw.

Title:
  LDFLAGS --package-metadata breaks mingw builds

Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in dxvk package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  dxvk FTBFS in resolute because /usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld.bfd does
  not understand the `--package-metadata` argument that was added to
  LDFLAGS in Ubuntu.

  The build error is somewhat cryptic because `ld --version
  --unknownflagxxxxxxxx` succeeds by ignoring the unknown flag, so meson
  thinks we have a working linker and yet we don't.
