	I'll assume you meant "invaluable" ;) And I can't say that I
disagree... here's something interesing from the Debian policy manual:

	"Note that all installed shared libraries should be stripped with 

              strip --strip-unneeded <your-lib>

	"(The option `--strip-unneeded' makes strip remove only the 		symbols
which aren't needed for relocation processing.) Shared
	libraries can function perfectly well when stripped, since the 	
symbols for dynamic linking are in a separate part of the ELF 		object
file. 

	Note that under some circumstances it may be useful to install a 
shared library unstripped, for example when building a separate
	package to support debugging." 

I guess that clears THAT issue up. Some distributions have stripped
shared libs for their default dists, some don't. Interesting...
