It seems it's not dh_strip who does the stripping. In the case of the
gem package it seems to happen already at compile time. After putting an
unstripped Gem.pd_linux in the temporary directory running dh_strip
won't touch it all. 

Also it seems as if dh_shlibdeps looks only for .so-files. I haven't
figured out what trickery was used in the gem package to let it find
also .pd_linux-files. But having a plain .pd-linux file in the temporary
directory and running dh_shlibdeps doesn't produce anything useful.
