It would really be terrific to grep throught the compilation logs and check for the presence of -DNDEBUG.

Use of -DNEBUG is considered EBW [1]

Another approach could be to grep through d/rules files for expression like:

More info for #701231.

cmake from sid (2.8.11-2 and above ?), now defines
CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO as -O2 -g -DNDEBUG.

So for cmake users, you should either not defines CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE or
set it to Debug.

Hi,

(Alas, Lintian does not have access to this.)

Is this still valid? Would you still find it useful...? I'm not
terribly convinced at the moment :)
