Before this patch all debug symbols were stripped off and simply discarded. GDB without debug symbols is barely usable, but at the same time distributing binaries with debug symbols would drastically increase strongswan/libstrongswan package size.
Instead of discarding debug symbols, it would be better to strip them off into a dedicated debian package. So that, if needed, one could still install them and use GDB.
