11:55 < codehelp> buxy: what happens with -dbg packages which contain multiarch 
libs in /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/$triplet *and* executables in 
/usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/ ?
11:55 < codehelp> the -dbg package depends on the M-A: same lib package and a 
M-A: foreign -bin package.
11:59 < codehelp> for now, I think I'll drop the M-A field from the -dbg 
package.
[...]
13:22 < buxy> codehelp: they should be switched to use .build-id (or whatever 
it's called) so that they do not conflict between each other


Perhaps a Lintian check for multi-arch -dbg packages to catch
potentional issues.  As far as I can tell, it takes debhelper compat 8
(or 9) to get dh_strip to use .build-id (by default at least).
