First of all, I think it's a great idea.
Well, we have the src packages then we only needs other package '-dbg'.
This one only need to change the options and install the libraries
needed, It could make all the work to leave the dbg program ready to
use, and uninstall it only needs to remove the package '-dbg'.
I think that create this package it's not a lot of work for the
mantainer and its size will be the smallest XD.
Sorry for my English, corrections are welcome.
