Hmm, I'l have to reinvestigate how I make the debdiff, as that didn't
show that, which is why I didn't notice this.

I had changed that already a month ago, but hadn't needed to upload a
new version in the meantime (and forgot about this change in the
meantime). The change in strip invocation was to comply with policy
4.3.0:

-----
10.1
By default all installed binaries should be stripped by calling

   strip --strip-unneeded --remove-section=.comment --remove-section=.note binaries

on the binaries after they have been copied into "debian/tmp" but
before the tree is made into a package.

Do you prefer I build a new version with that change reverted?

Thanks,
Paul
