I have a FOSS project distributed by debian, and for quite I've been

there is no need for this.
Use dh_strip
However, I have a new release and my packager at debian is now saying
they do not want strip used in makefiles.
How can I prevent -g from being used?
The normal debian packages are stripped by dh_strip, or not when
the debug-symbols debs are made. Therefore, the debian packager
wants control over that. Therefore, you don't need to worry about
stripping.
