[Bug 1730801] [NEW] [artful] package libgps22-dbgsym contains no files

[Henning Meyer]

Public bug reported:

I use Ubuntu 17.10 and the following repositories

deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com artful main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com artful-updates main restricted universe multiverse

apt-cache show libgps22-dbgsym
Package: libgps22-dbgsym
Architecture: amd64
Version: 3.16-4
Multi-Arch: same
Priority: extra
Section: libs
Source: gpsd
Maintainer: Bernd Zeimetz <bzed at debian.org>
Installed-Size: 2
Depends: gpsd-dbg (= 3.16-4)
Filename: pool/universe/g/gpsd/libgps22-dbgsym_3.16-4_amd64.ddeb

I see this after executing "apt-get download libgps22-dbgsym":
a file libgps22-dbgsym_3.16-4_amd64.ddeb with the right size and hash. It is empty:

dpkg -c libgps22-dbgsym_3.16-4_amd64.ddeb

drwxrwxr-x root/root         0 2016-11-04 23:35 ./

I would like it to contain the debug symbols for libgps.so

I would like the automated tools to not create empty debug packages
