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.
