So to summary: Policy 11.2 recommends: strip --strip-unneeded dh_strip does: strip --strip-unneeded --remove-section=.comment --remove-section=.note install -s does currently: strip --strip-unneeded lintian checks for: strip --strip-unneeded --remove-section=.comment --remove-section=.note is that correct ? Did 'install -s' used to do 'strip --strip-unneeded --remove-section=.comment --remove-section=.note' ? Do we know why it was changed ?
