It is finally not necessary to build the module with the -g option,
I have enclosed a patch that disable the GetIDMapper function inlining
when built with g++ and optimizations.

No GetIDMapper inlining when building VISU
The template function GetIDMapper should not be inlined by g++ when
compiling with optimizations (the Debian build system used -O2) because
the VISUConvertor command needs to link with the resulting symbol
contained in libVisuConvertor.so. The patch is provided in:
debian/patches/visu-no-template-inline.patch
and will be applied by quilt thanks to the list:
