I disagree with Seb, this does seem reasonable to ship as an Ubuntu delta. Usually I would agree with Seb's reasoning: Debian could benefit from this, and in fact, I'd suggest you send it to them still just to see what they say.

This all being said, in my own prior experience, Debian Maintainers are not inclined to accept these patches. -O3 is Ubuntu-specific, and Debian Policy in recent years explicitly prohibits vendor patches. If this Debian maintainer happens to be particularly cooperative, sure, I'm happy to sync over this. That being said, the patch fixes a current, Ubuntu-specific FTBFS, so I will be sponsoring it.

Small nitpick with the patch itself, I would have included this bug report in it. Will just add that line prior to uploading.

Thanks.
