I had someone asking about this on a Ubuntu Studio IRC channel, and
myself being ignorant on the subject, I got help from the same person on
collecting some info on debugging symbols being built in into debian
multimedia packages, and also searched the web a bit to see what I could
find.
As he suggested, some packages, such as qtractor, have build flags for
including debug symbols in the rules file.
And what I found while searching the web was that this may be the
preferred way to build debian multimedia packages -
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=684035.
So, my question is, is there a policy for including debug symbols with
debian multimedia packages, and why?
If so, why not split those into additional packages?
Again, I'm not very wise on the subject, but it seems to me that the main
qtractor package includes debugs symbols, even though, I suppose they are
supposed to go into qtractor-dbg.
This is the rules file:
#!/usr/bin/make -f
LDFLAGS+=-Wl,--as-needed
%:
dh $@ --parallel --with autoreconf
override_dh_auto_configure:
dh_auto_configure -- --enable-debug \
--enable-lilv \
--enable-suil
override_dh_strip:
dh_strip --dbg-package=qtractor-dbg
