Hi,
Apologies for the delay, I have just took over maintaining dh-exec.
The trick we have here is a lot of packages have now expected that the flag
works this way[1].
Looking at the code, it adds filter, then whatever --with specifies, or
subst,install then strip.
That means the current packages specify install, but mean
filter,install,strip. If I make this change, then it will only do install.
I think only doing install is the right answer, but not sure if there is a
way of doing this but not breaking everything.
