That's expected. The debian/control file contains:

Source: libdbg
[...]
Package: happycoders-libdbg
[..]
Package: happycoders-libdbg-dev
[..]

It means that when the source package 'libdbg' (specified by the 
'Source' field) is built, 2 binary packages (specified by the 'Package' 
field) are produced.

That's quite usual for library packages, one package is containing the 
library used at runtime by the compiled programs, and the other one 
(*-dev) the files needed to compile software using the library (for 
example C/C++ header files).
