Source: littler
Version: 0.3.11-1
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 littler invokes 'install -s'. However, '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, when
cross-compiling it uses the wrong strip(1) implementation (from the build
rather than host architecture), and it results in the nostrip option in
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS being ignored (see Policy ยง4.9.1). Unconditionally
using INSTALL_PROGRAM = install would likely be better.
