Public bug reported:
In Lucid (and probably other releases), debugging symbols are stripped from the
libraries and executables of the mpich-1.2.7-9.1ubuntu1 packages. (However,
compilation is done with "-g" enabled.)
Without these symbols, parallel debuggers like DDT are not able even to start a
mpich program as they need the symbols to read the process table. Moreover,
symbols are needed to debug message queues etc.
A fix would be to simply remove the line
dh_strip -a
from the debian/rules file.
