This is certainly possible, but is deleting the -dbg packages really the best
solution? For python debug packages to work, they need to run with the debug
version of the python interpreter, which -dbgsym packages make no provision for.
Generally, for python packages, it's desirable to keep the traditional -dbg
packages.
