The intention is to ensure the debug symbols came from the same build as
the binary packages which are being enhanced. Enhances doesn't provide
that guarantee since it's a purely aesthetic relationship. The
alternative is to have all the packages which are enhanced by the debug
symbols declare “Breaks: foo-dbg (<< ${binary:Version}), foo-dbg (>>
${binary:Version})”
