Nope.
With CPACK_STRIP_FILES
strip is called by CPack when CPack is installing (in a local
CPack-specific install tree)
the package before building the package.
This process is normally shared by all generators.

So you may perfectly have shared lib in your build tree which are not stripped
and get them stripped in the package.

I understand.
That's just there is a better chance of fix if we get a test case.
