Section 4.1 of policy 3.2.0.0/3.2.1.0, or section 11.1 of policy 3.2.1.2
now that the packaging manual has been merged.
Typically, something like this will do for building with or without
debugging symbols:
ifeq (,$(findstring debug,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
CFLAGS = -O2 -Wall
else
CFLAGS = -O2 -g -Wall
endif
For deciding whether or not to strip the binaries, dh_strip with a
build-dependency on debhelper (>= 2.1.6) will do the job, or you could
do something like this:
ifeq (,$(findstring nostrip,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
INSTALL = install -s
else
INSTALL = install
endif
install:
$(INSTALL) foo debian/package/usr/bin/foo
