It's eu-strip -f (elfutils) or a combination of binutils tools with several
special options (I think it's two objcopy's and a strip or something).
In rpm-based distros, this is done automagically in rpmbuild and driven by
magic macros and shell scripts. I had the impression Debian also did
parallel -debuginfo packages of the same sort, so I presume some scripts
using either objcopy/strip or eu-strip are buried in that build magic too.
Thanks,
Roland
