I got it to stop just before infinity :) Turns out that we don't need to
rebuild the package, the emerging standard seems to be to build everything
with debugging symbols, but the then to strip the symbols into a fresh
package $foo-dbg, in this case libgsl0-dbg. Try
$ apt-cache -- search -dbg | grep symbols
The package will sit in incoming for a bit as a new sub-package don't install
automatically.
Thanks for the suggestion. I hope you will this useful.
