debugging.
This program examines your package build directories and works out what
-to strip on its own. It uses L<file(1)> and file permisions and filenames
+to strip on its own. It uses L<file(1)> and file permissions and filenames
to figure out what files are shared libraries (*.so), executable binaries,
and static (lib*.a) and debugging libraries (lib*_g.a, debug/*.so), and
strips each as much as is possible. (Which is not at all for debugging
=item B<--dbg-package=>I<package>
-This option tells dh_strip that the given package has an associated "-dbg"
-package. dh_strip will, when stripping off the debug symbols of files in
-the given package, save them to independent files in the package build
-directory for the "-dbg" package.
+Causes 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, you might have a package named libfoo, and want to include a
-libfoo-dbg package that contains debugging symbols. The command "dh_strip
---dbg-package=libfoo" will make dh_strip save the debugging symbols for
-usr/lib/libfoo.so.0 into usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libfoo.so.0 in the package
-build directory for libfoo-dbg. If libfoo-dbg is installed, gdb will
-automatically load up the debugging symbols from it when debugging libfoo.
+For example, if your packages are libfoo and foo and you want to include a
+foo-dbg package with debugging symbols, use dh_strip --dbg-package=foo-dbg.
-This option may be repeated to list more than one package.
+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 "-dbg" added to their name.

+Debug symbols will be retained, but split into an independent
file in usr/lib/debug/ in the package build directory. --dbg-package
is easier to use than this option, but this option is more flexible.
