Control: tag -1 confirmed patch I confirm that grub-pc-dbg is broken - the kernel.exec and *.image files are stripped. Similarly in other -dbg packages:
grub-coreboot-dbg/usr/lib/grub/i386-coreboot/kernel.exec: ELF
32-bit LSB executable, Intel i386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
grub-ieee1275-dbg/usr/lib/grub/i386-ieee1275/kernel.exec: ELF
32-bit LSB executable, Intel i386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
grub-xen-dbg/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-xen/kernel.exec: ELF
64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
grub-xen-dbg/usr/lib/grub/i386-xen_pvh/kernel.exec: ELF
32-bit LSB executable, Intel i386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
grub-xen-dbg/usr/lib/grub/i386-xen/kernel.exec: ELF
32-bit LSB executable, Intel i386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
Possibly dh_strip no longer treats legacy *-dbg packages as special?
In any case, this can be fixed by adding .exec and .image to the
dh_strip exclusions. This is what the attached patch does.
Ben.
