+### Please describe the problem.
+
+ATM git annex assistant app is the largest one installed on my phone.  I simply keep hitting the available storage space limits and keep pruning some apps
+
+According to file
+$> file lib/armeabi/lib.git-annex.so
+lib/armeabi/lib.git-annex.so: ELF 32-bit LSB  executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
+so largest annex's .so is 133M and is not stripped.  stripping it seems to half its size: 
+
+$> ls -l lib.git-annex.so

+$> file lib.git-annex.so
+lib.git-annex.so: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
+
+so may be it could be the first step to make the .apk and installation itself more lightweight and thus easier to "manage"
+
+thanks in advance
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
