I like the intention of this commit, but I am not sure this is the right
place to do it (besides restricting this to amd64 is just plain wrong).

Why is this "set -E" needed?

We had some discussion about enabling that by default some time ago and
on the installed system it seems to be fine - what is missing in this
environment so it does not work by default?
