Description-en: automatically build debug symbol ddeb packages
pkg_create_dbgsym builds a debug symbol ddeb for a given package in a
built source tree and adds it to debian/files.
.
This package diverts and wraps debhelper's dh_strip and dh_gencontrol. It
automatically calls pkg_create_dbgsym for all packages dh_strip is asked to
act on. As a result, by merely installing this package on buildds, all
packages will automatically get ddebs built.
