[Bug 721855] Re: grace: No debug-symbol package is created

[Alex Valavanis]

Local pbuilder build succeeded - subscribing sponsors.

The Debian developer will be patching the release of the package.  I
guess it's up to the Ubuntu sponsors to decide whether to go ahead with
the fork, depending on how urgently we want to add debug symbols to the
package.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grace

  When the grace package is built in Ubuntu, a ddeb package is supposed
  to be generated by the dh_strip command (with pkg-create-dbgsym).  The
  grace Makefile, however, strips the grace executable before pkg-
  create-dbgsym gets a chance!

  As a result, there is no easy way for Ubuntu users to run a decent
  backtrace on grace segfaults.

  This can be fixed by patching the makefile to remove the "-s" flag
  from the install command
