I've seen quite some lfs errors (on 32-bit platform) with packages in the last 
weeks.
Isn't it time now (year 2022), to take lfs down from "future" feature to 
"standard" feature
and enable it by default?

I mean, instead of requiring package maintainers to add:
  DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="future=+lfs"
or
  DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS="future=+lfs"

simply enable this feature now by default?

With that everyone (on a 32-bit platform) would e.g. get:

dpkg-buildflags --get CPPFLAGS
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2

I have to admit, that I don't know if some packages would fail to build with it,
but if they do, they should be fixed....
