Shall I file a bug to this effect? On python? I think it is definitely reasonable, and you can file a bug against python. On the other hand, I???m not sure such symbolic links are necessary for debugging libraries; at least they are not for usual libraries. The debug library names all have the same -py24 and -py25 decoration as the non-debug ones found in libboost-python-dev. The symlinks are to support linking with the default Python runtime. This may not be usual, but how else do you deal with a library supporting two Python runtimes? This is all good for regular libraries, but as they are decorated, the debuglink information added by dh_strip should point to the decorated debugging library location, so you shouldn’t need the undecorated symbolic link for the debugging libraries.

Ah, now I see your confusion. For a standard library, you're perfectly right. The -dbg library has the same SONAME as the non-debug version. Boost is different: they decorate the debug library name (and SONAME) with an extra -d. So the debug versions do need the default runtime symlinks.
