It's eu-strip -f (elfutils) or a combination of binutils tools with several special options (I think it's two objcopy's and a strip or something). In rpm-based distros, this is done automagically in rpmbuild and driven by magic macros and shell scripts. I had the impression Debian also did parallel -debuginfo packages of the same sort, so I presume some scripts using either objcopy/strip or eu-strip are buried in that build magic too. Thanks, Roland
