No, no, no. The autobuilders that produce Debian packages for other
packages *must* be able to automatically produce packages that work on
plain-vanilla systems of their architecture.

That means that non-maintainers are quite likely to get it wrong, since
most packages don't require this kind of customization just to build a
standard version for upload.

Usually, when I do this, I'm trying to debug a problem and therefore
don't want my changes to affect the package in unexpected ways ...
people who are trying to build optimized packages will already be using
things like pentium-builder.
Perhaps DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=optimize (or optimise, depending on your
spelling religion)?
