I saw your bounty and stackexchange post. One thing that is not clear is how using Debian as a base, vs Gentoo, will help you achieve your goals.

With that in mind, has your team investigated Gentoo, which is purely a source distribution that supports per package compilation flags?

Gentoo has been investigated:

Gentoo would solve one issue, but generate new issues.

  • It’s a rolling distribution. Changing too rapidly. While Whonix was based on testing for a while, many issues were generated from that. Stable distributions are much more usable.
  • There are package manager and other security issues with Gentoo’s, see: Issues · Whonix/Gentoo-Port · GitHub
  • porting to Gentoo would cost lots of time and effort
