Beside a strip at buildtime with emdebian,
dpkg recently get new options in version 1.15.8 to strip at install time:
* Add two new dpkg options --path-exclude and --path-include for filtering
files on package installation. This allows embedded systems to skip
/usr/share/doc, manpages, etc. Based on work from Tollef Fog Heen and
Martin Pitt, thanks! Closes: #68788, #68861, #497304, #525567, #583902
The disadvantage is that you still need to download everything…
(I haven't test it by now, so take it with a pinch of salt)
Best regards,
