For HPLIP, they were extremely easy to add: 1. Created a new arch-any package to hold *all* debug information (no reason to bloat the archive with many packages). 2. Used debhelper V5 mode (which is already backported, so it is okay for Sarge too). 3. Used dh_strip --dbg-package=foo-dbg And that was all I had to do. This depends on you already building with -g, but since that's policy anyway, I had hplip already doing that. Of course, debug builds are still useful, as -O2 makes step-by-step debugging on a debugger quite insane, but I am not worried about that. The fact that we can get proper ltrace and backtracing output even on -O2 is probably enough. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
