Package: debhelper Version: 7.0.17 Severity: wishlist When using a debhelper 7 styled debian/rules, "dh binary-arch" calls "dh_strip -a". So when one wants to have a debug package, one needs to make the binary-arch target to look like this: dh binary-arch --before dh_strip dh_strip -a --dbg-package=foo-dbg dh binary-arch --remaining
I think dh should recognize the fact that there is only one -dbg package in control and automatically call dh_strip with --dbg-package=foo-dbg. (When there are multiple -dbg packages in control this is of course impossible.)
