I'm disturbed by this too, but -- as I clarified on IRC -- I think
there's a conflict of interests between getting more meaningful
backtraces in average (and hence improving the quality of Debian before
the release / saving ourself a message to bug submitters) and
testing/sid users as first class users and hence respecting policy
during the full release cycle. (My understanding is that the -dbg
recommend would have been dropped before the release.)
