Title:
  Installing multiple dbgsym packages fails

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  On Yakkety, installing a single -dbgsym package using apt works fine.
  However, if I specify multiple on a command line, I get this:

  $ sudo apt install metacity-dbgsym gnome-flashback-dbgsym
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree       
  Reading state information... Done
  The following NEW packages will be installed:
    gnome-flashback-dbgsym metacity-dbgsym
  0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
  Need to get 0 B/1168 kB of archives.
  After this operation, 4972 kB of additional disk space will be used.
  dpkg: error: searched, but found no packages (files matching *.deb)
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

  The *.deb wildcard is wrong because the packages actually have a .ddeb
  extension, i.e. /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-flashback-
  dbgsym_3.20.2-1ubuntu1_amd64.ddeb.
