For my understanding: 
Are the following three actions identical?

- Strip the binaries 
- Removing the symbol tables from binaries
- Removing debugging information from binaries 
  generated with 'gcc -g'



-------------- begin: gdk-imlib-nonfree1.shlibs --------------
libgdk_imlib 1 gdk-imlib-nonfree1 (>=1.3) |  (>=1.3) 
--------------- end: gdk-imlib-nonfree1.shlibs ---------------

So this is not right, right? I will file a bug report.
