That sounds nitpicking, but we could change the wording in the

some reason it decides to keep all debug information.)

It can be seen as nitpicking because it is a feature I didn't know it existed until today :)

Is there a reason why all debug info can't be dropped (since the aim is to save as much space as possible)?
