I was under the impression that dh would set the strip options in the $ 
(INSTALL_PROGRAM) for the Makefile, so that an explicit strip wasn't  
necessary.  Is that true?  If so, I'll change up the pd packages to  
use INSTALL_PROGRAM and INSTALL_DATA properly.  I don't know why I  
didn't do this to begin with.
