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

[Niels Thykier]

Not sure if this is still relevant, but ...

If you are going to make debhelper use ".ddeb" rather than ".deb" for
dbgsym packages (and dpkg doesn't DTRT), I strongly recommend relying on
the "build_and_rename_deb" sub in dh_builddeb rather than computing the
filename yourself.  Otherwise, "dh_gencontrol -- -V $(VERSION)" is going
to be needlessly painful (like it was with udebs).

  adjust the way to create dbgsym packages like Debian does

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.
