But you're expecting them to rewrite the Makefiles to include your
flag in the right places... (or do you just mean the port
maintainer?)

The only really easy way I know to do this which is also fairly
foolproof is to put gcc and g++ wrapper scripts in ./debian/bin/ and
then add `pwd`/debian/bin to the path in the right places in
debian/rules. You can put whatever flags you want in the wrapper
scripts.
(I had to do this in the upcoming powerpc compatible emacs-20.3
package to fix some problems with an ldscript ...)
