Title:
  dpkg-buildflags: emit build flags for negated features

Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  we have in a package:

  export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+all,-fortify

  however that doesn't turn off fortify.  We have these unfortunate
  defaults in the compiler, so we have to emit explicit compiler flags
  to disable these.

  not just for that feature, but for any feature that is turned on by
  default in GCC.
