Currently hardening is implemented like this:

./configure $(shell dpkg-buildflags --export=configure) (...)

..according to [1]. The only place where we use hardening-includes is
that line:

find $(CURDIR)/debian/tmp -type f \( -executable -o -name \*.so\* \) -exec hardening-check {} + || true

Is it OK to simply remove that check? Is there an replacement for
hardening-check?

Thanks,
  Hilmar
