I tested the new features of KiCad 4.0 quite extensively and found some
problems with the avoid & shove code. It crashes quite frequently when there
are lots of obstacles.

To debug these, it would be great to have kicad-dbg package with debugging
symbols.

I tried to build one myself, but the package turned out empty.
Is KiCad built without debugging symbols at all? Is there some dpkg magic
involved?

I added this to debian/control:
Package: kicad-dbg
Architecture: any
Section: debug
Depends:
 kicad (= ${binary:Version}),
 ${misc:Depends}
Description: Debugging symbols for kicad

And this to debian/rules:
override_dh_strip:
        dh_strip --dbg-package=kicad-dbg
