Package: postfix Version: 3.3.0-1+b1 Severity: normal Dear Postfix Maintainers,
Looking at the postfix-dbgsym package I noticed that the debug files do not actually contain any useful information. This is consistent with the debug-file-with-no-debug-symbols lintian warning that is triggered by the files in the package. I had a look at d/rules and it seems the binaries are not compiled with '-g' unless DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS contains 'debug'. This is deprecated, and the Policy ยง10.1 specifies that: By default, when a package is being built, any binaries created should include debugging information, as well as being compiled with optimization. I think the problem can be easily solved by always adding '-g' to CCARGS, or by reverting the existing logic (set 'DEBUG += -g' unless DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS contains 'nodebug').
