Bug#33536: huge libc-dbg package (32MB deb, unpacks to 120+ MB)

Can you then please leave enough debug symbols in libc.so to get a

the most compact debug format.)
I can't really do that because it is against Debian policy.
The idea option I came up with is to have $(libc)-dbg install the
shared libs (unstripped) and symlinks in /usr/lib/libc_debug, so that
when you want a backtrace with names, you can use LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Does that sound acceptable?
