Thanks Fabian, this is viable as a minimum fix indeed.

The intent of my original report was also to ask Matteo if he had an
opinion about building with CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release instead, since I
may not be familiar with all the implications.

But yeah, let's play it safe and go with the -DNDEBUG fix.

There is another issue with 2.83.0+dfsg as apparently something
changed upstream about fonts installation, I think the following commits
break some assumptions in
debian/patches/0004-locales_directory_install.patch:
https://github.com/blender/blender/commit/68e341e9d59ae917eba992591f4f60660f6c58ff
https://github.com/blender/blender/commit/d7514914894e9c96c9eab21fb625a2021aaa71cb

I opened an MR which should fix both issues:

Thanks,
