sstrip is now unmaintained, has a long history of generating butchered
binaries in some cases, and does not gain that much space in the end.

We'd like to obliviate sstrip from the strip options, anihilate the
sstrip package, scorch any reference in fire, and cleanse our tree
free of any remnants...

But first, let's just deprecate it for now.
