Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20120608
Severity: wishlist
While trying to debug unrelated software, I noticed that the source package
in question does not generate a -dbg target, which forced me to recompile
the package myself.
Giving this further thought, it occurred to me that, with some script magic,
debhelper could be made to always auto-generate -dbg targets for any given
source by appending the corresponding suffix to the names of binary targets
found in debian/control e.g. libfoo3/libfoo3-dbg, foo-bin/foo-bin-dbg. This
would have the benefit of instantly making debug symbols for Debian packages
built with a recent enough debhelper compatibility level available always.
This is merely a wishlist bug for this to eventually be implemented.
