@Henning -- this has actually been fixed twice, once for the older
releases (intrepid to karmic), and now again for newer releases (lucid
onwards).

For the sake of clarity here is the history.  There are three different
classes of debug debs:

1) in the very oldest release (only Dapper and Hardy now) the debug packages 
are real .deb's in the archive and are correctly available.
2) in intrepid through karmic they are ddebs but named <image>-debug
3) from lucid onwards they are ddebs names <image>-dbgsym

When ddebs were introduced we started building our kernel ddebs as
<image>-debug.  This appeared to work as the ddebs appeared in the right
place.  However they were not being matched correctly to the master .deb
in the main archive and were being cleaned up after 14 days.  When this
was discovered we were requested to rename them to <image>-dbgsym to
match the archive standard.  In parallel a hack was put in place in the
reaper to keep the <image>-debug in place.  This sorted out the
Intrepid->Karmic ddebs being incorrectly deleted but inadvertently
introduced the issue for Lucid and later.

We believe that all releases should now be correctly recognised and the
the appropriate .ddebs retained.  However, we cannot be 100% sure until
we have a new upload in Lucid.  We therefore believe the issue should be
fixed going forward.
