If you already started a build, changing debian/config won't affect it.
In general, you would need to run "debian/rules debian/control", clean,
and build again.
If you have done that, then I don't understand how this is going wrong.

We used to enable debug-info only for a few configurations; then we
changed to enable it for all configurations but didn't delete the
redundant settings. And I documented this wrongly.
I've updated the handbook (only git and the online version so far) to
correct this. I have also deleted the redundant settings, to make this
simpler in future.
