My understanding is that this is only a problem for install/package results, 
right?

My personal preference would be:

<inst>/lib/libFoo.dso
<inst>/lib/debug/libFoo.dso
<inst>/bin/fooApp
<inst>/bin/debug/fooApp
<inst>/include/foo

...which allows dynamically using debug libraries if needed. Of course, VS 
doesn't support that.

I understand the Windows way is:
<inst>/lib/libFoo.dso
<inst>/lib/libFoo.dbg.dso
<inst>/bin/fooApp
<inst>/bin/fooApp.dbg
<inst>/include/foo

...which is broken, but out of our hands. The first approach would be 
cross-platform, the second more Windows-ish. Since I am not the major stake 
holder here, I leave the final call up to Robert.


Cheers,

Stefan.
