The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

I wasn't looking at it from that angle.  Yes, that mokes very good
sense.  Still, putting unstripped binaries in the packages and having
them optionally and configurably stripped on installation looks very
easy to do in the interim until all packages are made configurable as
you describe at the source level, and the only downside I see is larger 
binary package files.
