That's fair enough; some may disagree, but it is at least consistent
with previous practice.

For any package which follows GNU conventions, that would work, but it
isn't my preferred approach.  I prefer to build with debug information
included, then I use 'make prefix=`pwd`/staged install-strip' to stage a
stripped version for distribution.  Doing it this way, I don't need to
rebuild, if I want to stage a debug enabled release.
