  _FORTIFY_SOURCE being added syntactically wrong for ppa builds
  breaking them

Bug description:
  I'm  the author of apsw - https://code.google.com/p/apsw/ - and have a
  PPA for builds for various Ubuntu versions at https://launchpad.net
  /~ubuntu-rogerbinns/+archive/apsw/+packages

  This has worked fine for a few years.  However builds for Quantal are
  failing.  You can see a failed build log at
  https://launchpadlibrarian.net/119421086/buildlog_ubuntu-quantal-amd64
  .python-apsw_3.7.14.1-r1-1ppa1~quantal1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz - The way
  I do the ppa build is by running "make ppa" from a source tree.

  The cause is because _FORTIFY_SOURCE is being mishandled.  Its
  definition and usage is not coming from my code.  I can't tell if the
  problem is the server side environment having a bug or something
  involved in making packages for submission is adding it.  Perhaps the
  Python stuff on 12.04 (where I do the ppa submissions) is putting in
  gunk that breaks 12.10?

  Attached is a .build file from the client machine.  It contains the
  following line which is not my doing

  dpkg-buildpackage: export CPPFLAGS from dpkg-buildflags (origin:
  vendor): -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
