If it were a configure option, we wouldn't need an upstream divergence and
could just add a configure option in debian/rules.

Any time we're actually patching upstream source, there's going to be some
way that we could avoid that by adding more configuration to upstream.
I'm not sure that's *always* a good idea, but in most cases it would be.
