The last message to this thread (prior to my last message with the patch) was
posted more than a year ago and I forgot to post some more background
information. Some things changed and others are only documented properly now.
The patch I attached to my last email implements the design from this spec:
https://wiki.debian.org/BuildProfileSpec
Build profiles are not yet in policy but dpkg implements build profiles in this
way.
The patch in my last email would fix apt bug #661537
Thanks!
cheers, josch
