Yes, it looks like that is exactly what is happening: dh_strip strip:debian/nsis/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/lib/nsis/libpluginapi.a(pluginapi.o): Unable to recognise the format of file: File format not recognized Seems it fails to strip the .o but repacks the .a anyway. I'm uploading an nsis with dh_strip -Xlibpluginapi.a, I'm not sure if I should file a bug on debhelper for the dh_strip side (yak shaving FTW). -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
