Hi, I have noticed that my python3-sip4-dbg package does not have debug symbols for the python3 extension (i.e. sip.cpython-34m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so). That package does not use distutils/setuptools, but uses its own build system instead. In debian/rules, we make sure that: - python3 extension is installed into debian/python3-sip/usr/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/sip.so - python3 extension for debug interpreter is installed into debian/python3-sip/usr/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/sip_d.so Yes, this is a bit Python 2 style, but we want to let dh_python3 do the proper renaming instead of doing that ourselves. The we call "dh_strip -ppython3-sip --dbg-package=python3-sip-dbg", which creates a debug symbols file at debian/python3-sip-dbg/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/sip.so. But then dh_python3 is called and it does the following renaming: I: dh_python3 fs:90: renaming debian/python3-sip-dbg/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/sip.so to debian/python3-sip-dbg/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/sip.cpython-34dm-x86_64-linux-gnu.so That file contains the debugging symbols for the extension built for non-debug interpreter, so it should be renamed to sip.cpython-34m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so, not sip.cpython-34dm-x86_64-linux-gnu.so. Is there any way to make dh_python3 use the correct file name here? I have tried changing debian/rules to run dh_strip *after* dh_python3, but then (for some reason) it leaves /usr/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/sip.cpython-34dm-x86_64-linux-gnu.so unstripped, which is wrong AFAIK. -- Dmitry Shachnev
