I second this. This is one thing Ubuntu has done rather better than Debian IMHO: mechanised the process of making debug packages so there usually is one without each package having to explicitly declare it and munge the rules file to make it. Adopting some similar scheme (or even the same one) makes a lot of sense to me. Does anyone object to doing this? Are there problems with doing it?
