[debhelper-devel] Bug#878888: dh_strip: please add support to postprocess debug info with dwz

[Matthias Klose]

Package: debhelper

Debug packages built by a recent version of rpm are now all postprocessed by
dwz(1), making dbg and dbgsym packages much smaller (cutting the debug info in
half for LibreOffice). Please implement this postprocessing in dh_strip as well,
allowing either inclusion or exclusion of this feature.

I didn't check if that works on either the Hurd or KFreeBSD.
