Your grep misses the relevant line.  Add -w to objdump or -2 to grep options.

gcc -g hello.c && (objdump -w -h a.out | grep text)
 11 .text         00000430  0000000010000490  0000000010000490  00000490  2**4 
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE

gcc -g hello.c && strip --only-keep-debug a.out && (objdump -w -h a.out | grep
text)
 11 .text         00000430  0000000010000490  0000000010000490  00000258  2**4 
ALLOC, READONLY, CODE

Notice lack of CONTENTS after stripping.  Keeping the section headers like this
gives a user confidence that a debug file matches his binary..
