--- Begin Message ---Package: debhlper Version: 7.4.3 Severity: wishlist Version 2.9.27 of libc6 has the following item in changelog.Debian.gz: Strip *.o files manually (dh_strip does not do it) to prevent leakage of the build directory. According to http://lists.debian.org/debian-glibc/2009/11/msg00089.html, the code is: find . -name \*crt\*.o -exec objcopy --only-keep-debug '{}' ../$(libc)-dbg/usr/lib/debug/'{}' ';' || true; find . -name \*crt\*.o -exec objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink=../$(libc)-dbg/usr/lib/debug/'{}' '{}' ';' || true); find debian/$(curpass) -name \*crt\*.o -exec strip --strip-debug --remove-section=.comment --remove-section=.note --strip-unneeded '{}' ';' || true; Is it possible to have similar lines in dh_strip? -- sobtw...@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org

--- Begin Message ---From the man page: Since it is very hard to automatically guess if a file is a module, and hard to determine how to strip a module, dh_strip does not currently deal with stripping binary modules such as .o files. If you look at the .o files present on any debian system, including ones like /usr/lib/gcrt1.o from libc6-dev, you will notice that many of them are not stripped. Unless you can prove that stripping all of them would not break them, it is not appropriate for dh_strip to strip them. -- see shy jo
