Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.19.7
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Today I found that building i386 packages on amd64 Debian Buster systems with
multiarch support installed doesn't work. Everytime I've tried to build such a
package from source with "dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -ai386" it has failed with
this error:

  Can't exec "i686-linux-gnu-strip": No such file or directory at
/usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Dh_Lib.pm line 475.

I have been able to reproduce this with the packages tar and steam from the
Debian Buster repositories. I've also found this issue when trying to rebuild
the steam-modeswitch-inhibitor package from SteamOS for Debian Buster.

I've tested this on both my system directly and in docker, but the result was
the same on both.

I tried installing the binutils-multiarch package, since that package contains
a binary called i686-linux-gnu-strip in it, but nothing changed.

Before upgrading from Debian Stretch I had no issue with building i386 packages
on the same system.

If additional information is needed to troubleshoot the issue, feel free to
contact me. I hope the report is clear and helps you guys out.

Kind regards,
Wouter Wijsman
