I saw it, but I hoped that some test elsewhere in the dh_strip code
permit what I'm trying to do.

Yes, this is the obvious solution, but if someone will change the
behaviour of "standard" debian stripping (e.g. add another
--remove-section argument) I have to change my "strip" invocation.
That's it.
BTW, this is a shared problem between all debhelper programs that
support "-X" flag (I think almost all), why does not exists the
possibility to use a list of file that have to be stripped like a
debian/strip file?
TNX, cheers.
