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

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package debhelper - 10.2.5ubuntu2

---------------
debhelper (10.2.5ubuntu2) artful; urgency=medium

  * Generate ddebs from debhelper instead of pkg-create-dbgsym (LP: #1623256)
    - Make debhelper Conflict/Replace pkg-create-dbgsym to force it off.
    - Revert the revert that disabled debhelper's attempts to do dbgsyms.
    - Mirror udeb code in dh_builddeb to allow us to alter file extension.
    - Set dbgsym Package-Type to ddeb to get correct debian/files output.
    - Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.18.23ubuntu3) so the above works correctly.

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.
