=head1 DESCRIPTION
-dh_strip is a debhelper program that is responsible for stripping
+B<dh_strip> is a debhelper program that is responsible for stripping
executables, shared libraries, and static libraries that are not used for
debugging.
This program examines your package build directories and works out what
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
+to figure out what files are shared libraries (F<*.so>), executable binaries,
+and static (F<lib*.a>) and debugging libraries (F<lib*_g.a>, F<debug/*.so>), and
strips each as much as is possible. (Which is not at all for debugging
libraries.) In general it seems to make very good guesses, and will do the
right thing in almost all cases.
Since it is very hard to automatically guess if a file is a
-module, and hard to determine how to strip a module, dh_strip does not
-currently deal with stripping binary modules such as .o files.

=head1 OPTIONS
=item B<-X>I<item>, B<--exclude=>I<item>
-Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename from being
+Exclude files that contain I<item> anywhere in their filename from being
stripped. You may use this option multiple times to build up a list of
things to exclude.
=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 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, 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
+I<foo-dbg> package with debugging symbols, use B<dh_strip --dbg-package=>I<foo-dbg>.
-This option may be repeated to list more than one package.
-
-Note that if you use this option, your package should build-depend on
-binutils (>= 2.14.90.0.7).
+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 usr/lib/debug/ in the package build directory. --dbg-package
+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.
-Note that if you use this option, your package should build-depend on
-binutils (>= 2.12.90.0.9).
