    <thetext>INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP_FILES used by packaging is lacking
a default value and is entirely undocumented

&gt; bitbake-getvar INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP_FILES

returns

&gt; The variable &apos;INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP_FILES&apos; is not defined

The code in packaging code is doing a &quot;(d.getVar(&quot;INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP_FILES&quot;) or &quot;&quot;).split()&quot; only,
so having a documented and defined empty value will not impact functionality</thetext>

    <thetext>As per several other bugs opened of this type, we are not adding default values for the sake of it.

I do agree we should document variables where possible.</thetext>
