A Debian developer (Stefano Zacchiroli) suggested that the unneeded strip was done at package building: http://lists.debian.org/debian-ocaml-maint/2008/01/msg00061.html

Unfortunately, after looking at the .deb patch applied to the original package (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/o/ocamlnet/ocamlnet_2.2.7-1.diff.gz), the Ubuntu package seems to have the relevant DEB_STRIP_EXCLUDE lines:
+DEB_STRIP_EXCLUDE += usr/bin/netplex-admin # OCaml custom bytecode binaries can't be striped
+DEB_STRIP_EXCLUDE += usr/bin/ocamlrpcgen

So maybe the stripping is done at another level or the DEB_STRIP_EXCLUDE rule is not taken into account. I don't know.
