Thank you for the explanations. I tried to find this Ubuntu's specific patch but found nothing. :-( I found no Ubuntu specific patch for ocamlnet or libocamlnet in: http://patches.ubuntu.com/o/ nor in: http://patches.ubuntu.com/libo/ Looking at http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/libs/libocamlnet-ocaml it seems that the patch applied to the package is exactly the same as the Debian one (i.e. yours): http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/o/ocamlnet/ocamlnet_2.2.7-1.diff.gz It has the DEB_STRIP_EXCLUDE lines: +DEB_STRIP_EXCLUDE += usr/bin/netplex-admin # OCaml custom bytecode binaries can't be striped +DEB_STRIP_EXCLUDE += usr/bin/ocamlrpcgen So maybe the strip is done at another level or is the side effect of another system-wide change, but this is beyond my knowledge of Ubuntu and Debian. In any case, I'll add this information to the Ubuntu bug report[1]. Yours, d.
