The error is caused by having debug info for the same binary in both

Move dh_strip below the uninstall lines.
Hmm ... our uninstall lines are hand crafted. I moved the dh_strip to be after
them, and this produced additional -dbgsym packages, but the problem remains.
I am certain the same files are *not* in multiple non-dbgsym packages, so I'm
confused why duplicates would appear in the corresponding -dbgsym packages.
The Ubunutu vs Debian issue is resolved ... they don't agree about the
filenames for the -dbgsym packages so we were not installing the -dbgsym
packages in the Ubuntu builds and QA, but we are for Debian.
I should have provided some context in my earlier mail. Here is an edited part
of the rules file for the binary-arch: target:

and uninstall is defined earlier as
