Description Ray Kinsella 2016-05-03 15:47:19 UTC 
If I set try to set both INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP and install -dbg package, I end up with un-expected behavior.

An example of this is show below, you will see the -dbg version of busybox is now empty because I set INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP. There is no reason why inhibiting the stripping of symbols at a system level should change the behaviour or contents of a debug package.

Comment 1 Ross Burton 2016-05-03 15:50:48 UTC 
So I wonder if its possible to still have sources in a dbg package when INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP is enabled.  At least, the documentation needs to be clear about what this variable does.
Comment 2 Ray Kinsella 2016-05-24 21:20:32 UTC 
I don't know why the two would be mutually exclusive.
