packages built without optimization

[Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>]

Due to upstream bugs and/or packaging mistakes some Debian packages like
Abiword [1] or Wireshark [2] are currently unintentionally built without
any compiler optimization [3].

This results in programs being both significantely bigger and 
significantely slower than they should be.

It would IMHO be good if maintainers would sometimes check whether their 
packages are actually built with compiler optimization enabled.

This does not apply to the cases where maintainers intentionally build 
packages without compiler optimization (to work around compiler or 
application bugs).

TIA
