Well, there is also none now.
Now people with libdcmtk5-dbg won't have libdcmtk8-dbg automatically
once their libdcmtk5 will be upgraded to libdcmtk8.

debug packages are meant for advanced users, that imho ought to be able
to find them. Starting with stretch there is a real canonical place
where to find them (the debug archive), which is imho nicer than the
verious -dbg.
Also consider that your libdcmtk5-dbg also contains debug symbols for
all the binaries in /usr/bin, not only the library itself, which is
really counter-intuitive given its package name.
