Yeah, why not encourage maintainers to put this in their configure.ac:

dnl ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
dnl - Use strict options (default enabled for devs, disabled in releases)
dnl ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
dnl if .git directory is present, considering we are working in the repository
if test -d ".git"; then
        default_strict=yes
else
        default_strict=no
fi

AC_ARG_ENABLE(strict, AS_HELP_STRING([--enable-strict],
                [Enable strict compilation options]), enable_strict=$enableval,
                enable_strict=$default_strict)
if test x$enable_strict != xno; then
        CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
-DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED"
fi
