Ideally, Synaptic should have a Menu option "install all matching -dbg
packages" which will get all -dbg packages for currently installed
packages. I seem to remember that at one point one Linux system I worked
on had both that and "install all matching -dev packages" as well. Might
have been an older Ubuntu, or an older SuSE Linux. My memory is a bit
hazy on this.

Ideally such an option should stay on and automatically install and
remove -dbg packages for all future package installations and removals.

Currently I'm clicking my way through the -dbg packages one by one, and
installing everything that doesn't want to bring in any new non-dbg
packages. Not very comfortable to say the least.
