Check out this repository:
deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/ddebs edgy main universe

(it's got -dbgsym packages for just about everything in main and
universe)

If you want to see how to build -dbg packages for your own packages,
check out a package in the repository that has a -dbg package (such as
libgtk2.0-0-dbg), do an apt-get source libgtk2.0-0-dbg and check out
what's in the debian/rules and such. You should see how the -dbg package
is generated.
