Yeah, the only one who submitted code has been Bill Allombert and he did it without following my recommendations so I have still not merged the required support... >From the whole discussion, relying on Standards-Version was not well accepted so the only sane way of doing it (and parsing make's output is not sane enough for me, even if debhelper does it) is to have the package explicitly record that it provides the required support in a new control field, something like "Build-Features". The not-so-evident part is that I want the syntax of this field to be sufficiently extensible so that we can encode more information like support of hardening build flags and similar stuff that we might want to know to adjust the behaviour at build time.
