Bug#157131: PROPOSAL] Suggest to minimize optimization when DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS contains "debug"

It should be pointed out that this fact represents a bug in glibc and the Hurd. That doesn't really affect the Debian question, because we should work with such packages that have bugs.

It's also error-prone. How about we just change "the minimum possible amount of" to "a minimum of"? We obviously don't expect maintainers to try the each element in the power set of compiler flags in order to figure out which options produce the least optimization, just something reasonable that lowers optimization (as you say, in order to make step-by-step debugging easier). > I would also do s/implies/means/ here. OK.

See Ian Jackson's comments: this is, apparently, a spurious argument.

Don't worry about autobuilder CPU time for this purpose, please. Bdale
