Since most of the times -dev packages are needed to compile only (headers and the symlink from lib.so), I think it'd be better to put unstripped libraries on a separate -dbg package (as lib_d.a). Those libs are easily 10 times the size. Usually we have: runtime pkg: shared lib stripped with --strip-unneeded develop pkg: static lib stripped with --strip-debug debug pkg: static lib unstripped I'm not sure on what to do for shared unstripped libs (are they supported by gdb, now?)
