--- Begin Message ---Package: debhelper Version: 12.1 Severity: important Tags: sid buster afaics this change was made in debhelper (9.20150811) unstable; urgency=medium * dh_strip: Always compress debug sections of debug symbols in ddebs. What was the reason for enabling this? The only savings I can see is some on-disk space savings when doing the debugging. The packages itself are compressed anyway. Otoh there are still tools outside which cannot handle compressed debug sections, and Debian seems to be the only distro turning on these compressions by default. Just stumbled about that when looking at a binutils issue which fixes the alignment for compressed debug sections (PR binutils/23919.

Following their decision I am therefore closing this as wontfix. Thanks, ~Niels
