Well the idea was to still accomodate people who value disk space over
the usability of debugging related tools. I personally would also just
go without stripping the binary files and value the usability of the tools
over space.

To add a bit of data, here is the size of the extracted packages stripped
and unstripped:
~/oracle-jdk-deb-package$ du -hs extract-*
357M	extract-no-strip
344M	extract-stripped

So from my point of view the difference in size is neglectable, so I'd be
also fine with a fixed "override_dh-strip:" in the generated rules file.
