Bug#657637: libqt4-dbg: Debug package doesn't actually have debugging symbols
Package: libqt4-dbg
Version: 4.7.4-2
Severity: normal
In 4:4.7.3-5, the debugging package took 284MB of disk when installed.
libqt4-dbg 4:4.7.4-2 takes only 5MB.
I looked at the files inside the package, and 'objdump' reports they
don't have debugging symbol sections at all.
123M libQtGui.so.4.7.3
1.8M libQtGui.so.4.7.4
