I agree with the precise meaning of this statement, but the spirit seems quite wrong. For the packages I am involved in (not many), I have deliberately not used dpkg-buildflags to make backporting easier. It is a new facility but a very good one, and I suspect that it will be adopted fairly quickly, especially if someone writes the appropriate patches to debian/rules (or even better, writes a program maintainers can use to automate this). Also, I am not the GCC maintainer, but from experience of receiving reports from people building software with Ubuntu, I think changing the defaults in GCC is quite wrong. Just my two cents.
