Policy 4.1: "The -g flag is useful on compilation so that you have available a full set of debugging symbols in your built source tree, in case anyone should file a bug report involving (for example) a core dump." But you'd still have to hack the X build system to build the debug libraries, but not compile the other packages with -g.
