There are concerns not to turn these on in Debian, and they are not as important
for Debian as for Ubuntu.  Debian has binNMUs, which we do simulate by our
"buildX" uploads.  The main benefit for Ubuntu now is that less packages have to
be uploaded this way, less work load on powerpc and armel buildds, and we do
have less dependencies, less NBS cruft at the end of the release cycle.  Not
much current software has the issue of objects/libraries ordering on the command
line, these are most found in packages which aren't active any more, both in
Debian or upstream.  I don't expect many merges there.  Take the ftbfs as a
chance for a condolence in the mortuary.
