... but until then, for gdb to pick them up, debug symbols for $THING must be
in /usr/lib/debug/$THING (a general rule, independent of multiarch),
resulting in paths like
/usr/lib/debug/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3.6.3
/usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/dbus-send
for a typical multi-arch library and executable (those two are in dbus-dbg).
This means any -dbg package that contains symbols for an executable can't
have the Multi-Arch flag set on it yet, until we have the hash-based paths
Josselin mentions. The actual library can still usefully be Multi-Arch: same -
which would mean you can use it from binaries from more than one architecture,
but you can only debug one of those archs at a time.
