I was just going based on memory and it's not spelled out in policy, just the developers reference: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#bpp-dbg It recommends not building a -dbg package for programs in general but for "core infrastructure" can be good candidates for debug packages. GPG seems infrastructury enough to me :) -- Eric Dorland <e...@kuroneko.ca> 43CF 1228 F726 FD5B 474C E962 C256 FBD5 0022 1E93
