I usually export the CFLAGS variable using "export CFLAGS" in debian/rules after doing the preprocessing required by policy (setting the optimization level, etc...). After that, it's just a matter of making sure that upstream's makefile doesn't stomp on CFLAGS unnecessarily (ie. they should use += instead of := or = ).
