Probably not much if the dpkg-architecture crashes are infrequent
and not easily reproducible.

However, the detached debug symbols for /usr/bin/perl / libperl5.24
etc. are in perl-debug too and should be more useful for that case.
(I see we don't mention them in the perl-debug package description but
we clearly should.)

See also #810327.
