Yes. It is run as part of the debian/rules makefile, which wraps the
XFree86 make World and make install rules.

Here's the relevant quote.
Note that by default all installed binaries should be stripped, either by
using the -s flag to install, or by calling strip on the binaries after
they have been copied into debian/tmp but before the tree is made into a
package.
We know how to turn off stripping for Alpha, that's not the problem. The
problem is why the loader is choking on stripped modules. We don't know.
