In general, the great list of resources for new contributors could be found in https://bitcoincore.reviews/

Particularly for this issue, describing of code behavior and use cases could be enough:
```
$ git grep -n -i ALLOW_HOST_PACKAGES
ci/test/00_setup_env_native_qt5.sh:11:export DEP_OPTS="NO_QT=1 NO_UPNP=1 DEBUG=1 ALLOW_HOST_PACKAGES=1"
depends/Makefile:183:            -e 's|@allow_host_packages@|$(ALLOW_HOST_PACKAGES)|' \
depends/config.site.in:68:if test -z "@allow_host_packages@"; then
```
Some knowledge of GNU Make and shell scripting is required.
