There are some special needs ports like cmake and qmake with labyrinthine options to figure out what to build "release" and you get no debug info. "debug" and you get waaaay too much stuff.
the tweak I committed a few days ago does cut through the red tape... Tool wants special treatment to accommodate DEBUG_PACKAGES ? Just say no. If it is too complicated to compile with -g *and* prevent the tool from running strip during fake, just *let it* run strip. The secret is NOT to tell it that this particular "strip" does nothing ;) What matters is the result. Aint nobody got time for that s***.
