Wouldn't it be possible to use the dpkg-buildflags framework for this? As far as I understand it, this framework sets the gcc options used to build Debian packages. Using it would allow to have an upstream-like gcc for the whole system, and Debian-specific options when building packages. (It would also have the side-effect of making sure all packages actually work fine when dpkg-buildflags sets something different as usually expected.)
