Err, you've clearly not looked at (or had sent to your inbox) the
build logs for, err, let's see, xfree86, mozilla*, atlas, gsl,
gwydion-dylan or glibc. (Off the top of my head, there's probably
better and/or more examples)
IMNSHO mucking with DH_VERBOSE isn't a good idea, it would help in an
utterly tiny number of corner cases where things break but nothing
that a rerun of the problematic package wouldn't normally achieve.
The cost would be purposelessly (99.9% of the time) bloated logs
making them even harder to parse for the buildd maintainer.
