I believe there is a consensus that packages should produce verbose
build logs by default and can optionally produce terse logs with
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=terse and this is just waiting on someone to propose
wording in policy to that effect.

A patch against git://git.debian.org/dbnpolicy/policy.git is best, but
rough proposed wording ("in section x, add: ...") is also fine.

Thanks for poking.
