> From the few quick tests I've done, I believe the fact that the debug 
libraries are listed at all is due to an issue with the "etch objdump 
emulation" code, which I fixed in 6c73347d83c75d83dd5c01f6308ecfccc4fa793b; 
specifically, we should not attempt to run readelf on the library if objdump 
returned "invalid operation".

I'll check each of the packages listed, but at least anjuta-dbg and 
evolution-dbg do not produce the warnings when checked using HEAD in an etch 
chroot (in fact, anjuta-dbg also loses another debug-related warning 
relative to the version currently installed on lintian.d.o).

(Another good reason we should probably release 2.1.0... :-)
