I think by doing things the gcc-way, there shouldn't be much trouble at all, and as far as there is, we can delay it until we have time (by waiting with the upgrade). But if this is a concern for many people, it is of course possible to do it in a separate (but not optional, IMO) target. It should be defined in a way which allows easy building of the binary package from real source. (This should be the normal situation if you call it before dpkg-buildpackage. However, it should be mandated that this really works, and that the normal build doesn't still use some other generated files.)
