I have a FOSS project distributed by debian, and for quite I've been using this in the Makefile.am under install-data-am:
-strip --strip-all $(bindir)/executable Since I could not find a way to prevent the project being built -g, and there is no need for this. However, I have a new release and my packager at debian is now saying they do not want strip used in makefiles. How can I prevent -g from being used?
