Personally I think this is completely the wrong approach to take for compiler hardening flags. The flags should be enabled by default in upstream GCC and disabled by upstream software where they result in problems. The compiler hardening flags have been tested over N years by RHEL, Fedora, Ubuntu, Gentoo and probably others. The approach Debian is taking (as opposed to Red Hat, Fedora, Ubuntu etc) means that software compiled outside of the packaging system will not benefit from the compiler's hardening flags. Doing it in this way also violates our social contract.
