no-strip [filename]
Executables and libraries are normally stripped out to discard symbols
and save space. If symbols are needed this option can be used. Without
specifying a filename nothing gets stripped. if a filename is given only
the matching files will not be stripped. The syntax of the file is based on
glob patterns. Each line of the file specifies a glob pattern which may
match exactly one file or multiple files. For example:
/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86
/lib/*
With this file you will prevent the file /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 and all
files within the directory /lib to be stripped. Please note glob patterns
doesn't work rekursively.

word is set set to ask, scr will ask for the user password during
image preparation, otherwise the given password will be used. If
an empty string is used no password will be set for the user. If the
username is combined with an optional groupname the user will be
part of this group. If the flag nohome is set the user will not have
a home directory.

later on, you have to edit the VERSION file located in the root of the image description
