Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, this is not easily implementable (in its current form). The -dbg packages will be uploaded to the main archive and -dbgsym packages go to the debug archive. The issue being that packages in the main archive is not able to depend on things in the debug archive. Thanks, ~Niels
