As far as I know the additional debug info only affects disk space, not
memory usage or even performance.

Nowadays, I personally value the ability to get useful tracebacks higher
than a few megabytes of disk space saved by removing debug info from
libraries and binaries.

A note in the README is of course not superfluous, but it shouldn't
contain wrong arguing.
