hi recently, dpkg 1.14.17 introduces a feature "dpkg-dev: Set a set of compiler flags for a build" that implements what is explained in BTS 465282 .
Since not everyone reads debian-devel (too much traffic), this may be uknown to many people; maybe you dpkg developers should send a mail to d-devel-announce, has you did recently for other important changes. For example, in my case this new feature breaks compilation of mplayer , as explained in bug 475973 ; I would have loved to know about that new feature from d-devel-announce.
