Package: debhelper
Version: 10.7.2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/dh_strip
Dear Maintainer,
I'm working around #35733 and #468333 by renaming *.rlib to *.rlib.a before
running dh_strip(1). This works well, however one file is omitted by debhelper:
----
$ xxd
debian/libstd-rust-dev/usr/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libstd-b6402de156fe6ac9.rlib

This is because dh_strip uses perl's -B check to filter out "text" files for
stripping, see here:
----
# Is it a static library, and not a debug library?
if ($fn =~ m/\/lib[^\/]*\.a$/ && $fn !~ m/.*_g\.a$/) {
# Is it a binary file, or something else (maybe a linker
# script on Hurd, for example? I don't use file, because
# file returns a variety of things on static libraries.
if (-B $fn) {
push @static_libs, $fn;
return;
}
}
----
This fails for the libstd-*.rlib I just gave - but if I remove the -B check
everything works. Obviously I can't do that in the packaging files however. Is
there another way I can work around this issue, before it is fixed?
