Ah, you can still use its mechanism (just not its policy) where a rebuild should be able to use DEB_<flag>_APPEND for that, or set them in one of its config files. If having a modified dpkg-dev emitting those by default would be less cumbersome for the rebuilder, I'm happy to provide an out of archive package for that for example, which I think we have done for some rebuilds. Thanks, Guillem
