I believe at this point the dpkg-buildflags solution has proven reasonably
successful and is being widely deployed.  I think we should confirm that
the TC agrees with that approach and close out this bug.

I therefore propose the following ballot:

A. The Technical Committee agrees with the dpkg-buildflags approach
   currently in use to enable hardening flags.

B. Further discussion.

I think the remaining open question is whether there is a desire to list
overriding the GCC maintainer and patching GCC to enable the flags for all
compilation on the ballot.  My guess is that there is not; if anyone
disagrees, please speak up and I'll draft a revised ballot including that
option.

If there is no other feedback, I plan to call for a vote on the above
ballot in a few days.
