Sorry for not realizing this earlier, but seems the problem here that you override a variable not meant to be manipulated (but yeah, probably completely undocumented): lower-case variables should be treated as read-only. I haven't verified, but seems to me that you get the intended result by instead suppressing/overriding DEB_DH_STRIP_ARGS.
