debug packages?



Hi all,

I'm packaging a C++ app that has packages like this:

foo         - binary using the library
libfoo0     - the library itself
libfoo0-dev - headers and so on
libfoo0-doc - docs for the library

I'd like to add a package for debug information, since the app crashes
occasionally. Should I add a libfoo0-dbg or foo-dbg package containing
debug info for the lib and the app? or should I create separate
libfoo0-dbg and foo-dbg packages? I'm inclined to think that creating
just libfoo0-dbg with debug info for both the binary and is the right
way to go, since there is also a gui in another package, which uses the
library, therefore more people will just have the library than normal.

Secondly, is dh_strip -k the right way to do this?
