I have recently created a debian/rules file with dh_make, it used "-g" for CXXFLAGS and "-g -O2" for CFLAGS. Is there any reason for not using -O2 for C++ compilation? Also do we really want debugging symbols in all the binaries? The C++ code compiled with -O2 seems to run well, so I don't think there's any compiler error for my setup (latest EGCS) at least...
