ffmpeg-dbg package doesn't contain debug symbols

[fkaa]

System

• xuname: Void 5.10.16_1 x86_64 AuthenticAMD notuptodate rrrmdDFFFFFF
• package: ffmpeg-dbg-4.3.1_6

Expected behavior

FFmpeg binaries (ffmpeg, ffplay, ffprobe) from the ffmpeg-dbg package should contain debug symbols.

Actual behavior

The binaries from the ffmpeg-dbg package are already stripped. The build process of FFmpeg creates a stripped binary and one with debug symbols with a _g suffix. See https://ffmpeg.org/faq.html#Why-are-the-ffmpeg-programs-devoid-of-debugging-symbols_003f for more details.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Install ffmpeg-dbg
2. Run gdb ffmpeg which declares no debug symbols were found

They could just respect CFLAGS set in the environment, which is just reasonable, but I guess that's not an option.

Thanks for bringing this up, I will try to fix it. Though we do have a strip wrapper that just echos stuff and should have caught this...
