Ah, good point.

This needs some finer-grained checks, though. the -dbgsym packages
conflict with the -dbg ones, so we must do an either/or check here.

I don't have time to fix/test this right now, though. If you do,
that'd be great, I'm happy to merge a tested patch. Otherwise we
should track this as a bug report, please feel free to assign to me.

Thanks!
