I think that mechanism is deprecated (or rather, was never recommended
by policy[1] at all); instead, new debian/rules files are supposed to
use something like

CFLAGS := $(shell dpkg-buildflags --get CFLAGS)

This sounds worth doing for wheezy, indeed.

Thanks for the report,
Jonathan

interface for building packages.
