The patch itself looks ok, some other questions:
- did you consider building the udeb from a separate source package,
build-depending on gcc-4.4-source? This way you don't need to copy
the file, and you don't need to add additional constraints for freezes
on the gcc-4.4 package. You could even copy the whole packaging and
conditionalize on the source package name for this new source package
to minimize the maintainance effort and get the updates/patches.
With --enable-languages=c --disable-bootstrap, the additional build
time penalty is the extra build of a one stage compiler for gcc.
- you don't need the package for m68k/hppa yet, but if you do build
for every architecture anyway, please don't build the package for
these archs, but libgcc2, libgcc4, and libgcc6 udebs.
- the patch should be prepared for gcc-4.5 as well.
If there are additional constraints for uploads of the gcc-4.4 source
package during freeze times, I would prefer the approach to build the
udeb's from a separate source.
