Bug#953654: libc6-dbg should be renamed (or at least Provide:) libc6-dbgsym



Package: libc6-dbg
Version: 2.29-10

help folks upgrade from libc6-dbg) and set up an appropriate Provides:
at least?

This can be a stumbling block for people trying to get software
development work done on debian, as evidenced by me screwing up over
here:
