Thank you for the explanations. I tried to find this Ubuntu's specific
patch but found nothing. :-(
I found no Ubuntu specific patch for ocamlnet or libocamlnet in:
http://patches.ubuntu.com/o/
nor in:
http://patches.ubuntu.com/libo/
Looking at http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/libs/libocamlnet-ocaml it
seems that the patch applied to the package is exactly the same as the
Debian one (i.e. yours):
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/o/ocamlnet/ocamlnet_2.2.7-1.diff.gz
It has the DEB_STRIP_EXCLUDE lines:
+DEB_STRIP_EXCLUDE += usr/bin/netplex-admin # OCaml custom bytecode binaries can't be striped
+DEB_STRIP_EXCLUDE += usr/bin/ocamlrpcgen
So maybe the strip is done at another level or is the side effect of
another system-wide change, but this is beyond my knowledge of Ubuntu
and Debian.
In any case, I'll add this information to the Ubuntu bug report[1].
Yours,
d.
