Those options are set by Python's distutils to make sure that the modules are compiled correctly for the local machine. Rdiff-backup's setup files don't specify any debug options.

I believe the -g option is necessary to make the stacktraces work through the C module. By allowing those stacktraces to exist for all users, many users have posted their problems to the mailing list and numerous bugs have been closed.

If you're concerned about rdiff-backup's performance, dropping the debugging symbols unfortunately won't provide any noticeable (or perhaps even measurable) change. :-)

Building rdiff-backup from source include debug symbols. Running, e.g. "python setup.py build" combines "-DNDEBUG -O2 -g". Does it make sense to strip assertions, optimize the code but include debug symbols in a default build?
