hplip in sid/stretch uses the default transition code that hardcodes the
version of the dbg-->dbgsym transition. So on a jessie->stretch update
it will not catch any -dbg packages that you upload to jessie-backports.
If you want to continue to provide -dbg packages in jessie-backports you
have to take care of them in the main sid/stretch packages. There is
some (iirc undocumented) feature that allows for this, mentioned
somewhere in the quoted thread [0].
For Wine I decided to just drop all debug packages in jessie-backports.
