Description
Description
It would be great to specify variables on the paket pack commandline that will be expanded by paket while processing the paket.template file. This is useful to change paths based on the configuration. A neat option would be to specify defaults for a variable substitution (if it's not set).
Example
Sample paket.template file:
type file
id Example.AmazingPackage
description My Amazing Package by Example.com
version 1.0
authors john.doe@example.com
files
bin/${ConfigurationDir = "Release"}/**/*
It can be invoked by paket pack ... -DConfigurationDir=Debug so it will package the files from the Debug folder instead.

Research direction
Start with the paket pack command and the processing of paket.template files. Define how -DConfigurationDir=Debug substitutions and the ConfigurationDir = "Release" default should behave, then verify that the example package selects the requested or default path.
