Title:
  dbus package installs debug dbus-daemon binary

Status in D-Bus:
  Unknown
Status in “dbus” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The dbus-daemon binary installed to /bin from the dbus package appears
  to be the debug version with all of the DBUS_BUILD_TESTS sections
  enabled. (Probably likewise for the other binaries, but I only noticed
  dbus-daemon because of
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43303 )

  Looking at, for instance, https://launchpadlibrarian.net/89440977
  /buildlog_ubuntu-precise-amd64.dbus_1.4.16-1ubuntu3_BUILDING.txt.gz it
  first installs the normal binary into debian/tmp//bin:

  Making install in bus
  make[3]: Entering directory `/build/buildd/dbus-1.4.16/build/bus'
  make[4]: Entering directory `/build/buildd/dbus-1.4.16/build/bus'
  test -z "//bin" || /bin/mkdir -p "/build/buildd/dbus-1.4.16/debian/tmp//bin"
  test -z "//bin" || /bin/mkdir -p "/build/buildd/dbus-1.4.16/debian/tmp//bin"
  test -z "/usr/lib/dbus-1.0" || /bin/mkdir -p "/build/buildd/dbus-1.4.16/debian/tmp/usr/lib/dbus-1.0"
    /bin/bash ../libtool   --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c dbus-daemon '/build/buildd/dbus-1.4.16/debian/tmp//bin'
    /bin/bash ../libtool   --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c dbus-daemon-launch-helper '/build/buildd/dbus-1.4.16/debian/tmp/usr/lib/dbus-1.0'
  libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c dbus-daemon /build/buildd/dbus-1.4.16/debian/tmp//bin/dbus-daemon

  and then later overwrites it with the debug binary:

  Making install-exec in bus
  make[3]: Entering directory `/build/buildd/dbus-1.4.16/build-debug/bus'
  test -z "//bin" || /bin/mkdir -p "/build/buildd/dbus-1.4.16/debian/tmp//bin"
  test -z "//bin" || /bin/mkdir -p "/build/buildd/dbus-1.4.16/debian/tmp//bin"
    /bin/bash ../libtool   --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c dbus-daemon '/build/buildd/dbus-1.4.16/debian/tmp//bin'
  libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c dbus-daemon /build/buildd/dbus-1.4.16/debian/tmp//bin/dbus-daemon
  test -z "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dbus-1.0/debug-build/lib/dbus-1.0" || /bin/mkdir -p "/build/buildd/dbus-1.4.16/debian/tmp/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dbus-1.0/debug-build/lib/dbus-1.0"
    /bin/bash ../libtool   --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c dbus-daemon-launch-helper '/build/buildd/dbus-1.4.16/debian/tmp/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dbus-1.0/debug-build/lib/dbus-1.0'

  I think this can be fixed by moving --exec-prefix=/ in debian/rules
  from the common_configure_flags to the configure flags for the normal
  build so it doesn't override
  --prefix=/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/dbus-1.0/debug-build from the
  debug build.

  Rebuilding with this change (although I also added the binary install
  target to debian/dbus-1-dbg.install) and the size of the dbus-daemon
  binary drops from about 800K before to about 400K.
