Adding pkern to the loop, who NMU'd this package.
It seems dwz things are usually in debug packages, with only a few
exceptions in unstable:
- ghc
- mlton-tools
- syslinux-utils
(ghc also in Debian 12, might be needed/useful for that compiler.)
Since debian/rules ends with the following, it seems to be on purpose,
at least at the time:
override_dh_strip:
dh_strip --no-automatic-dbgsym
This can be traced back all the way to:
