That sounds interesting and would be nice generally, however...

For the rolling Debian suites, the main and dbgsym archives are often
out of sync, the dbgsym packages updates sometimes appear first and
sometimes second. Keeping foo/foo-dbgsym in sync is strongly needed
since old or new dbgsym has zero value for debugging and just because
the archives are currently not in sync, that doesn't mean one wants out
of sync dbgsyms to be removed.
