[Bug 1623256] Re: adjust the way to create dbgsym packages like Debian does

[Martin Pitt]

This is the more invasive approach which by and large works with current
dpkg. The main inconvenience is that by specifying the file name instead
of output dir debhelper now has to divine the full file name and thus
parse DEBIAN/control.

IIRC this patch does not yet work, but it should be close. But again it
also does not yet parse /CurrentlyBuilding for determining whether or
not to enable ddebs, until Launchpad sets DH_BUILD_DDEBS.

** Patch added: "(concept patch) make debhelper spit out ddebs"

Bug description:
  Debian now creates dbgsym packages in it's own way, incompatible with
  the Ubuntu approach.  This leads to ftbfs or failed-to-upload packages
  without changing the packaging.  It might be feasible to adjust the
  packaging, however in the long term it would be better to adjust to
  the way to build the dbgsym packages the Debian way.
