Yes, I saw the manpage of dh_strip and what I understood is you can exclude (-X) but you can not determinate which file to strip. > > I think the solution for now will be to add the following to ``rule'': > override_dh_strip: > dh_strip > find . -name '*.a' \( \! -name '*_g.a' \) \ > -exec strip --strip-debug \ > --remove-section=.comment \ > --remove-section=.note {} \; And where I put the stripped part ? I mean, how to direct the result to a -dbg package or something ?
