Package: debian-policy Version: 3.2.1.0 Severity: normal Section 4.1 tells to use something like:
INSTALL = install ifeq (,$(findstring nostrip,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS))) INSTALL += -s endif This is usually wrong, as automake Makefiles also use INSTALL for non-binary files. I tried this and got a complaint while it attempted to strip a manpage :( INSTALL_PROGRAM should be probably be advertized instead. Also, packages using debhelper may just call dh_strip and don't need to care about adding -s flag to install. -- System Information Debian Release: woody Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux bylbo 2.2.17 #1 Sun Sep 10 19:21:52 CEST 2000 i586 Versions of packages debian-policy depends on: ii fileutils 4.0z-2 GNU file management utilities.
