Either you end up with: * an transitional package that will *not* bring in the dbgsym package, OR * a transitional package that *cannot* be installed/upgraded without the user having enabled the debug archive. Though, it is entirely possible that we need to keep transitional packages for -dbg packages if apt have issues coping with the upgrade path. >> * Are we going to tell people in the release notes that we expect >> 'apt dist-upgrade' to remove plenty of -dbg packages and if they >> still need them to reinstall the -dbgsym version? > Of the two ideas you proposed, this is the one that makes most sense to me.
