Normally packages are compiled with -O2 -g and then dh_strip handles
stripping to debian policy (removing the comment section too and
such).  Most often this bug is caused by the package installation
itself calling strip, eg. with install -s.

So this is just a heads up that:

 . the upstream package's strip may not strip the comment section or
   other things Debian wants stripped;

 . calling with nostrip should should include full -g debugging
   symbols;
