Every other distros name their debug packages as foobar-debuginfo.
We name them foobar-debug instead.

Due to this, we've to patch various packages (gdb, ...) for that.
And we've to maintain those patches of course...

What do you think about naming them -debuginfo like other distros
do and drop those patches?

Will all -debuginfo packages get a Provides+Obsoletes on the -debug package name? Otherwise we get a lot of orphan packages on users' systems plus potential file conflicts between -debug and -debuginfo packages.
