Since I did a binary upload, the built .deb files are included.
But I now see that also the dbgsym files have .deb extensions

should change that, so the dbgsym files are named with .ddeb
extensions. Then I can sponsor again.

Do you know out of your head how to change to .ddeb extension?

Not really. But why not look at the packaging of the old source
packages? The dbgsym packages are already built and present in the
archive with .ddeb extensions.

Second thoughts..

I may be completely wrong here. It looks like the handling of dbgsym files is an area where Debian and Ubuntu diverge, and I reacted with my Ubuntu hat on.

I built the thing on my Debian testing installation before uploading, and then the dbgsym files got .deb extensions. When building the very same source on (coming) Ubuntu 22.04 the dbgsym files get .ddeb extensions. So it happens automatically, and hence is not a package matter at all. It looks like Ubuntu's version of debhelper includes some change which explains this difference in behavior.

So maybe all is well, after all, and we can simply await the ftp-master review. If somebody sees this and can confirm, it would be great.
