Package: libncursesw5-dbg
Version: 5.7+20090523-1
Severity: grave

Hi,

$ dpkg -L libncursesw5-dbg
[...]
/usr/lib/debug/libticw.so.5.7
/usr/lib/debug/libformw.so.5.7
/usr/lib/debug/libpanelw.so.5.7
/usr/lib/debug/libncursesw.so.5.7
/usr/lib/debug/libmenuw.so.5.7
/usr/lib/debug/libmenuw.so.5
/usr/lib/debug/libpanelw.so.5
/usr/lib/debug/libticw.so.5
/usr/lib/debug/libformw.so.5
/usr/lib/debug/libncursesw.so.5

But the shlibs are installed in /lib/, not in /; so the files 
in /usr/lib/debug should be moved to /usr/lib/debug/*lib*/

Otherwise dbg and other tools can't find the debug symbols, rendering the 
package completely useless.

Cheers,

For some reason I thought it would be better to clone #532022 instead of
reopening it right away.  I've changed my mind and reopened the original
bug, no reason to keep this clone as well.
