In general, you would need to run "debian/rules debian/control", clean, and build again.

We used to enable debug-info only for a few configurations; then we changed to enable it for all configurations but didn't delete the redundant settings. And I documented this wrongly. I've updated the handbook (only git and the online version so far) to correct this. I have also deleted the redundant settings, to make this simpler in future.
