Martin, thanks for your work on this. Some questions/notes:

 - Do we really need to explicitly build -dbg packages, given that pkg-create-dbgsym already builds them for every package in the archive anyway? The long-term goal is actually to remove -dbg packages entirely (and we are pondering doing that on the Ubuntu builds). As long as the package builds with -O2 -g and leaves stripping to dh_strip, it should Just Work. That works for tens of thousands of other packages.

  So perhaps the -no-separate-debug-info addition and debian/patches/bug261380-nostrip.diff is everything that's required here?

 - the lintian overrides should be removed from the patch. Lintian should't complain about /usr/lib/debug/, that's a lintian bug.
