It would have helped me to diagnose Bug 26591 and Bug 17971, for example. 
Luckily I had access to the package maintainer, but maybe not everybody would. 
I've seen other similar bugs, but I cannot recall what they were (probably
games!)

winejack doesn't currently build, so in cases such as this where
--without-whatever is used, it would be handy to know if/when such builds are
packaged.

It would be nice to know which GCC is used to build a package so that one knows
if one is using a GCC that should or should not work.

It would be nice to know which optimisations are used during build so that one
can decide whether there would could be any improvement for a specific machine
(even more useful as the number and types of CPUs being used continues to
increase).

Which kernel version it was built against... and so on and so on.

It's "nice to know" what happened to a package before it got to you.  Ubuntu,
for example, adds all kinds of non-default crap to their packages.

Etcetera, ad infinitum.
