It would be nice if the missing debug symbols issue could be fixed,
but it isn't essential to do that.

Please ask upstream to remove all generated files from their VCS. The

If upstream refuses to remove the files, you can remove them in
`debian/rules clean` and early in `debian/rules build`. The first so
that building twice in a row works and the second so that they are
always built from source.

Sounds like this would prevent building the files from source, I would
suggest not doing that.
