OK?
This is ok if nobody has serious objections and at the same time
is willing to either fix these options for 4.5 or at least show
that they do work when special care is taken at configure and
install time and is willing to document those restrictions.
Please wait 48h to give people a chance and wait until an
eventual discussion dies down.
Actually, I haven't tested that -b does not work. I don't have any
cross-compiler or want to build one. Could any one test that?
I see that several Debian packages use (or have used) -b but perhaps
those are fixed already.

the given example uses this upstream, not just in the package. I didn't see many
uses of this. However distributions tend to patch around this.
As a plus, removing -V could allow for not-changing paths in an installation
across subminor releases.
