Bug#43787: well, here it is: alternate proposal (was: changed title...)

[Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>]

I don't mind this proposal as long as it satisfies everyone. I'll redo mine
to match Marcus's suggested one if I don't hear any complaints.

Something like this for the options?:

------------------
CFLAGS	:= -O2
INSTALL	:= install -s

ifneq (,$(findstring $(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS),debug))
  CFLAGS += -g
  ifneq (,$(findstring $(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS),nostrip))
    INSTALL := install
  endif
endif
------------------

I set it up this way, because I don't think a `nostrip' is pertinent unless
building with `debug' also. In this way "DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip" will not
do anything, but "DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS='debug nostrip'" will have the desired
affect.
