Bug Description

In Lucid (and probably other releases), debugging symbols are stripped from the libraries and executables of the mpich-1.2.7-9.1ubuntu1 packages. (However, compilation is done with "-g" enabled.)
Without these symbols, parallel debuggers like DDT are not able even to start a mpich program as they need the symbols to read the process table. Moreover, symbols are needed to debug message queues etc.

A fix would be to simply remove the line

dh_strip -a

from the debian/rules file.

Same issue with eclipse PTP. Had to manually compile to make it work.
