What did not work?

Code:
$> cat infile
AA 111 CC
DD 222 EE
BB 111 FF
$> VAR=bla; sed 's/EE$/'$VAR'/' infile
AA 111 CC
DD 222 bla
BB 111 FF
$> VAR=bla; sed "s/EE$/$VAR/" infile
AA 111 CC
DD 222 bla
BB 111 FF

If you tell more, maybe error output and maybe a snippet of your input file as example, it might be easier to help.
Did shell variable substitution inside sed not work or the whole construct?

Can't see if you fille $date with the output of the date command. Maybe you do this or just add a
Code:
`date`

instead of just putting in a $date.

dpkg-checkbuilddeps(1)						  dpkg utilities					    dpkg-checkbuilddeps(1)

NAME

       dpkg-checkbuilddeps - check build dependencies and conflicts

SYNOPSIS

       dpkg-checkbuilddeps [option...]	[control-file]

DESCRIPTION

       This  program checks the installed packages in the system against the build dependencies and build conflicts listed in the control file. If
       any are not met, it displays them and exits with a nonzero return code.

       By default, debian/control is read, but an alternate control filename may be specified on the command line.

OPTIONS

       --admindir=dir
	      Change the location of the dpkg database. The default location is /var/lib/dpkg.

       -A     Ignore Build-Depends-Arch and Build-Conflicts-Arch lines. Use when only arch-indep packages will be built, or combine with  -B  when
	      only a source package is to be built.

       -B     Ignore  Build-Depends-Indep  and Build-Conflicts-Indep lines. Use when only arch-dep packages will be built, or combine with -A when
	      only a source package is to be built.

       -d build-depends-string

       -c build-conflicts-string
	      Use the given build dependencies/conflicts instead of those contained in the debian/control file.

       -a arch
	      Check build dependencies/conflicts assuming that the package described in the control file is to be built for the given host  archi-
	      tecture instead of the architecture of the current system.

       -?, --help
	      Show the usage message and exit.

       --version
	      Show the version and exit.
