Bug#701941: libstdc++6: Debug symbols should be in libstc++6-dbg
Package: libstdc++6
Version: 4.7.2-5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The debug symbols for this package should really be in a package named
libstdc++6-dbg, not a different libstdc++6-X.Y-dbg package for every
gcc-X.Y source package.
The status quo makes the symbols hard to install, hard to upgrade, and
hard to express a sensible dependency on.
Also, I'm some of these packages contain debug symbols for copies of
libstdc++ that were never included in any .deb, since the gcc-X.Y from
which they were built did not build .debs for libstdc++6. For example,
libstdc++6 version 4.4.7-2 seems to only exist for m68k, but
libstdc++6-4.4-dbg 4.4.7-2 exists in wheezy for all release
architectures (which doesn't even include m68k).
