Hi,

This works with most of the GNOME packages in Debian:
$ apt-get install devscripts
$ apt-get source paquet
$ apt-get build-dep paquet
$ cd paquet-version
$ DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nostrip noopt" debuild
$ dpkg -i ../*.deb

The "nostrip noopt" works with all the packages using cdbs and makes
unstripped non-optimized builds.


Cheers,
