These discussions only elaborate why the -dbg packages are preferred
over automatic -dbgsym packages.

They don't provide a justification for the need to build a package with
-dbg packages installed.

The debug packages are mostly for users to install when they need
troubleshoot an issue with gdb.

Kind Regards,
