Lintian tag: debug-symbols-not-detached
Type: warning
Description (from lintian-explain-tags)
This file is in a location generally used for detached debugging symbols,
but it appears to contain a complete copy of the executable or library
instead of only the debugging symbols.
Files in subdirectories of /usr/lib/debug mirroring the main file system
should contain only debugging information generated by objcopy
--only-keep-debug. Binaries or shared objects built with extra debugging
should be installed directly in /usr/lib/debug or in subdirectories
corresponding to the package, not in the directories that mirror the main
file system.
If you are using dh_strip with the --dbg-package flag, don't also install
the library in /usr/lib/debug. dh_strip does all the work for you.
Please refer to Best practices for debug packages (Section 6.8.9) in the
Debian Developer's Reference for details.
