[PATCH v3 0/1] builddeb: introduce profile excluding the dbg pkg

From: Bastian Germann
Date: Mon Mar 13 2023 - 05:41:26 EST


Introduce a Debian build profile to exclude the massive debug package
during build. This was sent the first time as part of a patch series:
<20210411101422.7092-6-bage@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Most of the patch series is included in the current work on mkdebian
but this is still missing.

A basic test showing better timing.
It is expected that the relative diff will be greater with more symbols:

make tinyconfig
# Enable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO
time make deb-pkg
real 5m31,104s
user 4m30,960s
sys 0m46,296s

make clean
time make DPKG_FLAGS=--build-profiles=pkg.linux-upstream.nokerneldbg deb-pkg
real 5m28,076s
user 4m25,129s
sys 0m45,489s

Changelog:
v2:
* Align the profile name with the one that ended up in Debian.
v3:
* Prevent the creation of the dbg package when profile is set
