Package: debhelper Version: 9.20120608 Severity: wishlist While trying to debug unrelated software, I noticed that the source package in question does not generate a -dbg target, which forced me to recompile the package myself.
Giving this further thought, it occurred to me that, with some script magic, debhelper could be made to always auto-generate -dbg targets for any given source by appending the corresponding suffix to the names of binary targets found in debian/control e.g. libfoo3/libfoo3-dbg, foo-bin/foo-bin-dbg. This would have the benefit of instantly making debug symbols for Debian packages built with a recent enough debhelper compatibility level available always. This is merely a wishlist bug for this to eventually be implemented. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (1001, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages debhelper depends on: ii binutils 2.22-6.1 ii dpkg 1.16.4.3 ii dpkg-dev 1.16.4.3 ii file 5.11-2 ii html2text 1.3.2a-15 ii man-db 2.6.2-1 ii perl 5.14.2-12 ii po-debconf 1.0.16+nmu2 debhelper recommends no packages.
