I am not totally happy with the solution of dropping the -g flag, but
since we currently do not generate debug packages for octave-* packages,
this is not a problem (but it will become one later, once .ddebs are
implemented).

Still, if we want to go down that road, your last commit should be
modified to use the flags generated by dpkg-buildflags (that way,
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS and other hardening features will be honored). For
CFLAGS, you should use the result of:

 DEB_CFLAGS_MAINT_STRIP=-g dpkg-buildflags --get CFLAGS

(and similarly for other environment variables).
