Until [1] gets implemented, you will need to use debhelper 9, add a
mixxx-dbg package to debian/control and override dh_strip to include
the --dbg-package parameter:
debian/compat:
9
debian/rules:
override_dh_strip:
dh_strip --dbg-package=mixxx-dbg
debian/control:
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 9)
Package: mixxx-dbg
Section: debug
Architecture: any
Priority: extra
Depends:
mixxx (= ${binary:Version}),
${misc:Depends}
Description: debug files for mixxx
This package contains debug information for mixxx....
.
It can be used to debug mixxx using a debugger if it crashes due to
programming errors.
