>From what you mentioned, debug-package-should-be-priority-extra ensures that packages named *-dbg have priority extra. Since the debug section consists almost entirely of packages named *-dbg, that mostly addresses my request. Ideally, I'd suggest having the converse of wrong-section-according-to-package-name, which would trigger for all packages in section "debug" that do not have the name *-dbg; in addition to making sense, that test together with debug-package-should-be-priority-extra would entirely address my original request.
