There's no part in the policy that requires debugging scripts to be part of the
development package, and I think it's not very intuitive. There's also no
advocated policy if these scripts should be part of a dbgsym package, and
there's no debhelper support to add these files to a dbgsym package. So yes, I
think the library package is the correct package to have these files. It makes
the library package a little bit bigger, but these don't hurt there.
