Packages that nobody will install should not be in the Debian archive. -debug
packages only make really sense for a small number of the most high-profile
packages.
In this case, the extract results from buildd.d.o way is the way to go IMHO.
It can be automated too if really needed if you make sure to output specific
markers before & after the tests run.
