Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.2.1.0
Severity: normal
Section 4.1 tells to use something like:
INSTALL = install
ifeq (,$(findstring nostrip,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
INSTALL += -s
endif
This is usually wrong, as automake Makefiles also use INSTALL for
non-binary files. I tried this and got a complaint while it attempted
to strip a manpage :(
INSTALL_PROGRAM should be probably be advertized instead.
Also, packages using debhelper may just call dh_strip and don't need
to care about adding -s flag to install.

Hi,
Policy now mentions
a) the example is informatiohnal only
b) the example is an example -- and you may have to tweak in order
for it to work for you
c)example now sets up and uses whole bunches of INSTALL vars to drive
home this fact.
