BuildConfig file in android - Purpose and features

Android has a flag called DEBUG in BuildConfig.java. Can someone explain how this file is created? What is the purpose of creating an automatically generated file with one variable?

Is it possible to have something other than the DEBUG flag inside this class? What if I need a configuration other than the development and release configuration? How can i achieve this?

BuildConfig.java is automatically created by the Android authoring tool and placed in the gen folder.
