I have no idea why libraries/binaries are installed without 644/755
permissions anyway. Configuration files I understand... That said, the
do get installed that way and so this needs dealt with.
I have seen cases where applications require certain helper applications
or plugins to be 555 or 500, so not writable by anyone (for security
reasons, but I don't remember exactly where I saw this).
Instead of not stripping them at all, wouldn't it be desirable to make
them writable, strip them and remove the writable permissions again?
Sure, consider that a stage 2. For this stage I just want to avoid the
error trap that should (untested) be set off in these cases.
