Hello,

This is just a minor issue.

Please change the hardening="+pie,+bindnow" line in debian/rules
to hardening="+all" to automatically add future hardening flags.

To make the debian/rules file a little shorter you can use the
new buildflags.mk file (needs dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.1.1)):

    export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+all
    DPKG_EXPORT_BUILDFLAGS = 1
    include /usr/share/dpkg/buildflags.mk

This obsoletes the following lines:

    hardening="+pie,+bindnow"
    CFLAGS=$(shell DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS="hardening=${hardening}" 
dpkg-buildflags --get CFLAGS)
    LDFLAGS=$(shell DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS="hardening=${hardening}" 
dpkg-buildflags --get LDFLAGS)
    CPPFLAGS=$(shell DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS="hardening=${hardening}" 
dpkg-buildflags --get CPPFLAGS)
    CXXFLAGS=$(shell DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS="hardening=${hardening}" 
dpkg-buildflags --get CXXFLAGS)

Or you could switch to debian/compat=9 and just use the following
line:

    export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+all

See [1] and [2] for more information.

Regards,
Simon
