Stripping means removing the static symbol tables from all libraries and binaries. It also removes all debug information at the same time by default. For reference, libavcodec is about 12 Mo code (with my devel config on x86_64) plus 46 Mo debug symbols. Debian has the habit of shipping -dbg versions of library packages with debug symbols included, to allow people to debug programs using these libraries. I suppose the Debian framework has provisions to create both the stripped and the debug packages from the installed files. (I do not see the -dbg version of the ffmpeg libraries in the repositories right now. Also, I do not understand why the debug information cannot be shipped as a separate file.)
