I think sticking with an env will make it much easier for some one to just
use dpkg-buildpackage (without modification) and call it like:
BUILD_DEBUG=y && dpkg-buildpackage -B
I think this is as far as policy should go on the requirements.
Internally, the debian/rules file can do whatever it wants, so long as it
either, a) honors the old policy regarding building with -g by default, or
b) honors this environment variable.
