A related topic was discussed during the bootstrap sprint[0], see
section 2 (small part of that long mail). There, the topic of having
optimized builds of packages was discussed. This technique can also be
used to only provide optimized builds without providing non-optimized
builds. It is not available in sid today. Please get in touch with Aron
