Should be by default.

According to Debian Policy Chapter 10:
(http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html)

"Note that by default all installed binaries should be stripped, either
by using the -s flag to install, or by calling strip on the binaries
after they have been copied into debian/tmp but before the tree is made
into a package."

and

"All installed shared libraries should be stripped with

     strip --strip-unneeded your-lib
"
