Source: multipath-tools
Version: 0.8.4-3
Severity: minor

A bug report against fteqcc (#968524) prompted me to look for other
instances of the same anti-pattern on codesearch.debian.net.

d/rules in multipath-tools sets INSTALL_PROGRAM to 'install -s'. However,
invoking 'install -s' is usually only harmful for a Debian package,
not helpful: it discards debugging symbols that could otherwise
have gone into a -dbgsym package, and when cross-compiling it uses
the wrong strip(1) implementation (from the build rather than host
architecture). Unconditionally using INSTALL_PROGRAM = install would
likely be better.
