It was a "half error".  I wasn't aware that in TeXlive "install" means
just copying the files to a temporary directory (and in fact it might
make sense to call "make install" at the beginning of the install target
instead).  The stripping should in fact not be done, otherwise
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip won't help, whereas dh_strip will honor it.

Personally, I feel that I understand the Perl script better, and I also
think that the directory layout is nicer.
