Gentoo's portage per default strips all binaries on install step unless you 
specify FEATURES="nostrip". So there the package management system (=portage) 
is in charge of stripping the binaries. Portage even warns about pre-stiped 
binaries.

I think the default should be to let the binaries unstripped unless the user 
explicitly wants to do this during install.

With regards,
Jan
