The symbols are loaded from the binary. You should compile the udeb you
wish to debug yourself (with debug information), put it into
build/localudebs and then build your installer image. Then run the
installer and attach gdb to the running process. Perhaps you have to
insert some delay into the udeb's postinst code so that you have enough
time to attach and set breakpoints.
Attach like this gdb $UDEB $PID, where $UDEB is the unstripped
executable (gdb loads symbols from it) and $PID is the process id of the
running process.
