I think it would be useful if none of the -dev packages depended on the
-dbg. It's not a dependency. And it'll made builders run faster, etc.

I think -dbg should be standalone. It's needed only when debugging a
package.

The only sensible default would be -dbg having install_if=<parent> gdb.
Though it might not be feasible to install *all* -dbg packages due to
their size. Perhaps add meta-packages "debug-info", and have install_if
against that?
