  I suggest that a new target be added to the Makefiles for
  sane-frontends (and sane-backends). I find the target useful since
  the standard for the Debian distribution is to install binaries
  stripped. This target is convenient.

  Here's a description of the install-strip target from the GNU
  standards document:

  `install-strip'
  Like `install', but strip the executable files while installing
  them. In many cases, the definition of this target can be very
  simple:

  install-strip:
  $(MAKE) INSTALL_PROGRAM='$(INSTALL_PROGRAM) -s' \
  install

  Normally we do not recommend stripping an executable unless you
  are sure the program has no bugs. However, it can be reasonable
  to install a stripped executable for actual execution while saving
  the unstripped executable elsewhere in case there is a bug.
