No. What would be the rationale?
Debugging symbols are useful and have no impact (IIUC) on performances
(on contrary to profiling), except for the size. In the C world, there
is a way to put debugging symbols in a separate library, but there is
not with OCaml TTBOMK (one should compile everything twice). Libraries
are (should) already be compiled with -g (the stdlib is), and
executables are already so big anyway.
I am not against compiling separate debugging versions, but that would
probably mean many changes in upstream build systems. I am not in favour
of any Lintian notification about -g (for now).
