Source: s3switch
Version: 0.1-1
Severity: normal
A bug report against fteqcc (#968524) prompted me to look for other
instances of the same anti-pattern on codesearch.debian.net.
d/rules in s3switch sets INSTALL_PROGRAM to 'install -s'. However,
invoking 'install -s' is usually only harmful for a Debian package,
not helpful: it discards debugging symbols that could otherwise
have gone into a -dbgsym package, and when cross-compiling it uses
the wrong strip(1) implementation (from the build rather than host
architecture). Unconditionally using INSTALL_PROGRAM = install would
likely be better. Or, you could just use
s3switch usr/bin
in debian/s3switch.install, and you wouldn't need the install step at all.
