It's not going to happen anytime soon, as there would be a relevant
amount of packages failing to build. An actual test build has yet to
happen (somebody was trying to plan one recently though) and there are
no real numbers.
Another reason that made hard to enable such flags is that -pie would
have cause some noticeble performance issues on i386 before gcc5.
And BTW, that tool would be dpkg :)
