I've changed all occurrences of INHIBIT_PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT to have 
INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP as well in all the layers angstrom has configured. 
I've sent patches to:

meta-intel
meta-initramfs
meta-oe
meta-fsl-arm
meta-android
meta-aurora
meta-linaro-toolchain

Which brings me to my next point:

If you list a mailinglist in your README where you want to have patches 
sent, don't make it automatically reject them. I'm looking at you, 
shr-devel!
