Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20130630
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
doing an amd64 build with a i386 target, the build tails because
dh utility expect programs
i386-linux-gnu-objcopy
i386-linux-gnu-strip
which don't appear to exist. I created them as link to objcopy and strip
respectively and it appears to work. Maybe a reference was added to allow for
target architecture variant of each command? Maybe. In any case binutils,
binutils-multiarch don't contain such programs.
Regards, Carlo.

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion.
However, we have decided to close this as wontfix. The rationale being
that we do not want to maintain a list of special-cases (i.e. i386 and
amd64 can use the same strip). Instead, please rely on the proper
multi-arch prefixed variants of the tools - these are installed by
default these days when you ask e.g. pbuilder or sbuild to do a cross build.
Thanks,
~Niels
