The dbg packages should just have debug symbols for the libraries, not
for random additional programs, IMO.

So there's something I'm not sure I understand here.  AFAIK, we're
shipping motif because some closed apps need it.  How does that work if
we get rid of libXm.so.3?  Or did I misunderstand the point of those
packages?

Another concern is that the shared library packages contains a lot of
non-versioned files.  Those should be in a separate package so that
different ABI versions are co-installable.  Especially wtf at a shared
lib package including files in /usr/include.

Cheers,
Julien
