Yes.

Yes, just as is done for virtually any Open Source software you can
find.

The memory usage is just the stripped size and disk space is cheap
compared to the alternative. Without the debug info you can't analyze
any crashes in a meaningful way.

I kind of like the way this is handled in Fedora and perhaps other
distributios as well, where packaged binaries is packaged with debug
info kept separately from the binary and installed when needed. Gives
the best of both.
