Thanks James for your investigations.
Ideally we could install the debug symbols (and compiler) into erlang-
dev, or create a new binary package "erlang-compiler". Since the debug
symbols are integrated into the library files, I see two options here:
* erlang-dev would divert the erlang-base libraries and install its own with
debug symbols. Very ugly, but doable with Debian package means.
* Figure out the search path(s) where the erlang runtime looks for libraries,
and install the debug-ful libraries in a prefered alternative search path.
(Would be much more robust and clean).
This change should be discussed with the Debian maintainers as well, to
avoid getting wrong dependencies for erlang packages which we sync from
Debian. I'll forward it to them now.
