Bug#446618: wrong dependency in -dbg packages



Package: developers-reference
Version: 3.3.8
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
>From section 6.7.9 Best practices for debug packages:
  
  Note that the Debian package should depend on the package that it
  provides debugging symbols for, and this dependency should be
  versioned. For example:

       Depends: libfoo-dbg (= ${binary:Version})

Here I think it should be:

       Depends: libfoo (= ${binary:Version})

Since you don't want the non -dbg package to depend on the -dbg, while
the contrary makes sense to me.
