Package: net-snmp
Version: 5.2.2-3
Severity: normal

Policy 10.1 recommends stripping binaries, but it isn't clear to me
that this is the fault of net-snmp.

dh_strip fails here when .so files aren't writable:
http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=net-snmp&ver=5.2.2-3&arch=amd64&stamp=1143163348&file=log&as=raw

I *guess* this is a package specific bug; Joey might correct me if
there should be some more general solution.

I though there was an opened bug for this, but can't find it now,
perhaps it was just some other package-specific bug I happened to see.
Presently, the dh-make template has dh_strip, followed by dh_compress,
followed by dh_fixperms; perhaps dh_fixperms should be moved earlier
than dh_strip, I don't know.  But I do wonder if {dh_,}strip should
handle this, either by remove()ing the file beforehand, or chmod()ing
it if necessary.
