This seems to be a rather popular request in ubuntu. There, we have metapackages shipped that depend in the libxxx-unstripped variants. Now if people use 'apt-get build-dep' they are confused because apt either fails or if you are lucky, apt will replace the unstripped variant with the stripped one. I'm not that convinced about that as well, but adjusting the dependencies on the -dev packages shouldn't hurt either.
