Re: Processed: Re: consensus on debug (-g) policy
Hi,
I apologize. After re-reading the paragraph, I see that I was
misinterpreting it. The sentence
> NOTE: Debhelper's ``dh_strip'' command will honor this policy, so
> that old packages that use it will automatically compile and keep
> the debug symbols when DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS contains ``debug''
> (although they will still build with -g by default, and should be

still confused me after reading it several times. I see now
that he did not indicate there was a flaw in dh_*, but that the rules
file needed be changed.
I was confused enough by that statement that I took it at what
I thought was its face value.
I apologize to the helper package authors.
