Did you confirm if this patch saved the build time in any way?
If so, please provide me with the steps to test it.

The correct command is:

 `make DPKG_FLAGS="-Ppkg.linux-upstream.nokerneldbg" deb-pkg`


-P<profile>                         (without '=' for the short option)
       or
--build-profiles=<profile>    (with '=' for the long option)



I will postpone this because just adding Build-Profiles does nothing.
