At least they shouldn't clash with maintainer-defined ones, IMHO, as they are created differently. The main point is probably that they shouldn't live in the main archive due to space reasons. Of course we could also filter out '*-ddeb*' or '*-dbgsym*' as long as it's not '*-dbg*', which should be dropped at some point but should live in the main archive if present as they're defined in debian/control.
