*-dbg packages and lack of documentation

[Adam Majer <adamm@zombino.com>]

Every single -dbg package I have installed seems to be completely 
useless from documentation point of view. This is just an example; I'm 
not singling out this package,

$ apt-file list audacious-dbg
audacious-dbg: /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/audacious
audacious-dbg: /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/audtool
audacious-dbg: /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libaudclient.so.1.0.0
audacious-dbg: /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libaudid3tag.so.1.0.0
audacious-dbg: /usr/share/doc/audacious-dbg/changelog.Debian.gz
audacious-dbg: /usr/share/doc/audacious-dbg/copyright


So now what? I have this installed but it is not in my path. What am I 
suppose to do with this? chroot /usr/lib/debug ?

All it requires maybe a simple explanation of how to use the debug 
package. I'd expect such information in /usr/share/doc/<package>/ but in 
ALL cases so far, the only content of that directory is

  copyright file - mostly useless to end user (especially for main)
  changelog.Debian.gz - again, not very informative for end-user

And where is the README.Debian ?
