Hi,
All right. Having been educated about the new build-id
mechanism, I think there is not reason for policy to prohibit either
approach, or to settle on one or the other.
To recap:
1) packages with detached debugging symbols should be named
${package name}-${debug suffix}. As a corollary, no ordinary
packages names may end in ${debug suffix}.
2) These packages may just symlink
/usr/share/doc/${package name}-${debug suffix} to
/usr/share/doc/${package name}
(and of course, depend on ${package name}
3) The detached debugging symbols should be placed in a subdirectory of
/usr/lib/debug, the exact path being determined by the mechanism
used (either build ids or debug links can and may be used)
4) Otherwise, these packages are normal debian packages
The ${debug suffix} nay be ddeb, or something else to be
decided.
Comments?
