[debhelper-devel] Bug#744932: debhelper: document compat level at which debug packages use build-id debug symbols

[Felipe Sateler]

Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20140228
Severity: normal

dh_strip on compat levels 7 and below stores debug information on
/usr/lib/debug/$fullpath, but on compat levels 8 and above it stores
them on /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/${build-id}.

This is not documented neither in debhelper(7) nor in dh_strip(1). I
think it should be documented in both.

Saludos
