+Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: Fix installation and stripping
+
+- Separate stripping into another step of the package
+- Conditionalize stripping the binary, distros don't like when packages do
+it because they want the debug symbols included and do their own
+stripping after extracting them
+- use -Dm755 to create the directory (-D) and set the correct executable
+mode
+- respect PREFIX which can be set to /usr /usr/local and even /
+- respect DESTDIR which is set by distros when they are packaging
