Would depend on what that means, where that variable was used, and what
it contains....
But the sort of breakage type it can trigger is not limited to any
specific package.
Pretty much any ** packages are prone to this happening, and that's so
unacceptable, that people have suggested/considered removing **
packages just to avoid this issue.
And that pretty much makes the defined purpose of those packages
useless, and makes that keywording grade useless.
