Yes, see http://lists.debian.org/debian-mips/2010/01/msg00009.html

In short: we could force -g0 for gcc, g++, gfortran, ... on some
arches' buildds (for some packages only!) but that would require
deep changes to the infrastructure (the gcc-defaults package) as
policy mandates building with -g, there is no easy way out of it
e.g. in cdbs and the mopac7 debian/rules appends -g to FFLAGS as
well, so a per-arch override would be a little difficult to do.

Luk said we should hope for a binutils fix first and consider it
as a last resort thing, from what I understood.
