When I run dpkg-buildpackage with -P argument it fails
dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc -P mypackageprofile
dpkg-buildpackage: unknown option or argument mypackageprofile
I have also tried -P [mypackageprofile] and ['mypackageprofile']. According to manual there is this argument
-P, --build-profiles=profile[,...]
Specify the profile(s) we build, as a comma-separated list
(since dpkg 1.17.2, long option since dpkg 1.18.8). The
default behavior is to build for no specific profile. Also
sets them (as a space separated list) as the
DEB_BUILD_PROFILES environment variable which allows, for
example, debian/rules files to use this information for
conditional builds.

You should write it with the style:
pkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc -Pmypackageprofile
Maybe it is a bug, or it is expected to have default argument (the usual case not allowing white space between option and its argument.
