building libvte9 with debug symbols

[Kenny Hitt]

Hi.

I'm having a really bad crash with gnome-terminal.  In order to figure
out the problem, I need a version of libvte with debugging symbols.

Could someone please point me to information on how to modify the Ubuntu
package to create a dbg version?  I've used

apt-get source libvte9

to get the Ubuntu source.  I've looked at debian/rules, but I don't see
any obvious way to stop the build process from stripping the binary.

Thanks in advance.
