Significantly smaller, but not enough. See for example a library using it: Package: libfontconfig1 Installed-Size: 192 Size: 89824 Package: libfontconfig1-dbg Installed-Size: 517 Size: 158768 I wouldn't say it can be included in the library package as is.

This brings a lot of benefits, and that's why dh_strip now supports it, but I'm afraid this is irrelevant to the issue I'm talking about. -- .''`.
