I digged a bit.

Overrides for packages in unstable-debug (suite 62) are added to
unstable (suite 5):

|-[ RECORD 1 ]-----------------------------
|package    | linux-image-amd64-dbgsym
|suite      | 5
|component  | 1
|priority   | 16
|section    | 356
|type       | 7

dak check-overrides wants to remove this overrides as unused:

| 20161114175917|check-overrides|waldi|removing unused override|unstable|main|deb|linux-image-amd64-dbgsym|extra|debug|None

Maybe an appropriate override-suite for unstable-debug will help?
