This would leave all binaries unstripped which would violate
policy 10.1 (" [...] Note that by default all installed binaries 
should be stripped.")

You'll also have to adjust the INSTALL_PROGRAM (e.g. by adding -s) 
according to DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS tag:

ifeq (,$(filter nostrip,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
         INSTALL_PROGRAM += -s
endif
