Bug#401385: This might not be as easy as I thought...



I wrote:
Having looked a little deeper, it appears it *does* use dh_strip after all. The file to examine is debian/rules.d/binary-ada.mk.

I'll try modifying that file to add --keep-debug to the dh_strip commands to see if that does anything useful...


And indeed it does. Very nicely, actually. Using this made it possible to set breakpoints at line number locations within the source of the Ada system libraries (e.g., the debug pool).

So the question now is: does anyone reading this have any preferences on whether or not I should go to the trouble of breaking out the debug files into separate debug packages? Using --keep-debug causes the debug files to be put into the same package as the actual libraries, but there's another option that allows you to tell dh_strip which package to put the resulting debug files into.
