Fine.

Then I guess it worked for me because debian/strip.h has not yet been 
run against the source code I use (i.e. I use the tarball from your 
homepage).

Great! I'll be glad to test your approach and provide help as needed.

Yes, sure. AFAICT all rules in debian/rules are supposed to be run 
from the source top directory, i.e. from one directory above debian/.

I don't think it's worth a separate bug report (because I believe I 
won't forget about it; I am a nitpicker). However, by running the 
debian/strip-sh script, do we modify the ABI/API in a way that makes 
this warning come true?
