Currently tracker-dbg holds the debugging symbols for the binary
packages: tracker, tracker-search-tool, libtrackerclient0 and
libtracker-gtk0.
I didn't want to bloat the archive unnecessarily and add a separate -dbg
package for each binary package.
Now, adding a Depends on all those 4 binary packages in tracker-dbg
seems wrong to me. I don't want to force people to install
tracker-search-tool if they only want to debug tracker.

I guess this is a quite common problem.

So, what's the proper solution to that? Cluttering the archive with a
load of -dbg packages or leave it as is?

Cheers,
Michael
