Public bug reported:

[ Impact ]

 * On Noble, dpkg scripts could not produce Rust binaries with frame-
pointer enabled.

[ Test Plan ]

 * Randomly build a Rust binary package like ripgrep and you will not
find frame-pointers being used in the binary.

[ Where problems could occur ]

 * On older Rust versions, it is known that LLVM on s390x sometimes can produce incorrect warnings about how "backchain" feature does not exist.
 * On older LLVM versions, LLVM may not produce correct backchain saving logic inside the function prologue.

[ Other Info ]

 * This change is mandatory to enable Rust-related packages with frame-
pointers during the build.

** Affects: dpkg (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
