The official node binary the SEA is built from keeps its symbol table and debug info, which lintian reports as unstripped-binary-or-object for OpenModelica's omedit .deb that ships the server. Strip it before the blob is injected. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Purpose
OpenModelica's
omedit.deb shipsmodelica-language-server-linux-x64from the releases, and lintian reports it:The standalone server is a Node.js SEA built on the official
nodebinary, which keeps its symbol table and debug info.Part of OpenModelica/OpenModelica#16849.
Approach
build-standalone.jsstrips the copiednodebinary withstrip --strip-allon Linux, before the blob is injected (postject adds it as an ELF note, which stripping afterwards could remove). macOS and Windows are unchanged.Tested locally with an official Node 24.18.0 build, as in CI:
stripped, 102.5 MB instead of 121.3 MB--versionprintsmodelica-language-server 0.3.5initializeover--stdioreturns the server's capabilitiesNot addressed
lintian also reports
embedded-library zlibandhardening-no-piefor the binary. Both come from how Node.js itself is built (it links its own zlib, and the official Linux binaries are not PIE), so they can only change by building node from source. OpenModelica will carry a lintian override for those two instead.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
