Robert J Lee, thanks for your offer. For info, in general, if you define the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS environment variable to include "nostrip", then the package build process will not strip debugging symbols from binaries.
However, I passed this onto the upstream author, who suggested that there was no harm in simply disabling all the assembler. It's very unlikely to result in a noticeable performance hit for any users of the Ubuntu packages. So, I suggest that Ubuntu do just that.
I'm planning to submit myself to MOTU. If the package has not been updated by the time that is done, I will make the correction myself.
