Is there a plan/timeline for having -dbgsym packages appear in testing
(and ideally also stable backports), or alternatively, a conscious
decision that debuggability of those suites is not something the project
wants? When stretch gets close to being stable, I imagine we'd probably
want security updates and stable bugfixes to get debug symbols too.
I've been omitting -dbg packages from newly-packaged source, but
the fact that dbgsym packages don't migrate is the reason I haven't been
dropping them from my existing packages as part of routine updates.
