I'll assume you meant "invaluable" ;) And I can't say that I
disagree... here's something interesing from the Debian policy manual:

        "Note that all installed shared libraries should be stripped with 

              strip --strip-unneeded <your-lib>

        "(The option `--strip-unneeded' makes strip remove only the             symbols
which aren't needed for relocation processing.) Shared
        libraries can function perfectly well when stripped, since the  
symbols for dynamic linking are in a separate part of the ELF           object
file. 

        Note that under some circumstances it may be useful to install a 
shared library unstripped, for example when building a separate
        package to support debugging." 

I guess that clears THAT issue up. Some distributions have stripped
shared libs for their default dists, some don't. Interesting...
