+=item B<--dbg-package=>I<package>
+
+Causes B<dh_strip> to save debug symbols stripped from the packages it acts on
+as independent files in the package build directory of the specified debugging
+package.
+
+For example, if your packages are libfoo and foo and you want to include a
+I<foo-dbg> package with debugging symbols, use B<dh_strip --dbg-package=>I<foo-dbg>.
+
+Note that this option behaves significantly different in debhelper
+compatibility levels 4 and below. Instead of specifying the name of a debug
+package to put symbols in, it specifies a package (or packages) which
+should have separated debug symbols, and the separated symbols are placed
+in packages with B<-dbg> added to their name.
+
+=item B<-k>, B<--keep-debug>
+
+Debug symbols will be retained, but split into an independent
+file in F<usr/lib/debug/> in the package build directory. B<--dbg-package>
+is easier to use than this option, but this option is more flexible.
