Hardening is generally a good thing, but can break code in subtle ways.
I suppose that's why it was decided that enabling it by default in 
Debian was deemed too risky.

Enabling it is quite easy, though: Just add

export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+all

near the top of your d/rules file. Some build systems may require 
additional flags, as documented here: https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening

Also, note that hardening-no-bindnow is an Informational message, so not 
strictly something that needs to be acted upon: 
https://lintian.debian.org/tags/hardening-no-bindnow

YMMV.
