On related note, I seriously consider dropping debug builds and replace them by unstripped release build or even just a separated package containing only debug symbols for the release build.
No one has complained about the debugging symbols in Wine Mono yet. They are included mostly because I don't know how to get rid of them, and it seems silly to put effort into that given the debug symbols have proven useful so far.
So, I decided to have a look at ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/mono sizes, and was pretty surprized by the result:
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows du -h ./mono 121M ./mono find ./mono -type f -exec strip {} ; du -h ./mono 104M ./mono
So, it's not the debug symbols that creates all that bloat in mono.
