I thought each package was supposed to have a debug package defined, and
that the -dbgsym packages were more of a stopgap?
If the -dbgsym packages are the way Debian is going there's a fair amount
of build infrastructure that may need to be fixed; there were already
reports in the Debian bugtracker of certain package publishing programs
failing due to the unexpected -dbgsym package (this actually is what
alerted me to the problem in the first place).
Can you point me to something showing which way the debug symbols are
supposed to be published, and why that decision was made?
Thanks!
