Bug#827465: Remove the -ansi flag: why not unconditionally?

[Julien Puydt]

Hi,

since you seem to have access to more various computers than me : what 
happens if one removes the -ansi flag unconditionally from d/rules? I 
don't think I'm the one who put it there and I'm not sure it is useful 
to have it anyway...

I'm pondering this commit for a 2.5.2-6 package:
