Hi Matthias! Thanks for the bug report.

This is definitely a bug in Lintian.

Lintian uses file(1) to check whether a binary is stripped or not, and 
it says something like this:

ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=2a7ceaa9fb01ea2953251d707d9251bc3cfd03da, not stripped, too many notes (256)

And this is what Lintian looks for in checks/binaries.pm:

       if ($fileinfo =~ m,not stripped\s*$,o) {

The regexp will have to be adjusted to allow for a comma after 
"stripped". This should do the trick:

       if ($fileinfo =~ m,\bnot stripped\b,o) {


That said, at least for the package in the archive, openjdk-8-dbg 
triggers also debug-file-with-no-debug-symbols, which doesn't rely on 
file(1) output, so something else might be broken too.
