I usually export the CFLAGS variable using "export CFLAGS" in
debian/rules after doing the preprocessing required by policy (setting
the optimization level, etc...). After that, it's just a matter of
making sure that upstream's makefile doesn't stomp on CFLAGS
unnecessarily (ie. they should use += instead of := or = ).
