Package: debhelper
Version: 4.2.36
Creating -dbg packages using dh_strip --dbg-package= result in packages
where for shared libraries symbolic liks are missing. These sym-links
are missing for the case where the SONAME of the shared library does not
match the filename:
SONAME libxerces-c.so.1.7
FILE libxerces-c.so.1.7.0
In this case a symlink exists called (/usr/lib):
SYMLINK libxerces-c.so.1.7 -> libxerces-c.so.1.7.0
It is mandatory to copy this sym-link to the -dbg package to. Please
apply this patch to make this step happen.
