Since most of the times -dev packages are needed to compile only
(headers and the symlink from lib.so), I think it'd be better to put
unstripped libraries on a separate -dbg package (as lib_d.a). Those libs
are easily 10 times the size.

Usually we have: 
runtime pkg:	shared lib stripped with --strip-unneeded
develop pkg:	static lib stripped with --strip-debug
debug pkg:	static lib unstripped

I'm not sure on what to do for shared unstripped libs (are they
supported by gdb, now?)
