So, is there any way to set compiler flags in the Debian package

process other than using apt-build or editing debian/rules?
look at the package:
pentium-builder
"Replaces gcc, cc, and g++ with scripts that build pentium optimized
code. (Other processors can be optimised for as well.)
Also, when I first researched apt-build, I thought that, by the build
output, it didn't really optimize packages. However, the author of the
package referred me to an excerpt of
/usr/share/doc/apt-build/README.Debian where it says that apt-build does
in fact optimize. The excerpt says:
Q: gcc and g++ do not seem to be called with good options!
A: *** They are called with them! ***
What you see on your screen is the command called by make, but
the wrapper wraps (yeah, it does) calls to gcc/g++ and adds options you
specified in the apt-build configuration file.
You won't see this on your screen.
Try `ps ax | grep gcc' instead as a proof, while building.
I would say that as long as apt-build is configured properly (use
'dpkg-reconfigure apt-build'), apt-build does optimize. I do agree with
OP, though that there seem to be some problems with apt-build's
functionality. Cheers.
