as libc-dev is already provided to let one ignore the actual libc devel
package of all the debian ports, i find logic (and useful) to have a
libc-dbg which lets free to not know which -dbg package is provided
for the given port.

libcurl2-dbg *suggests* libc6-dbg | libc6.1-dbg | libc0.3-dbg. i'd like
something like libc6-dbg | libc-dbg as already is for the -dev packages.

i suppose the user of libcurl2-dbg might be interested in where things
break even if these are in libc. it is not a matter strictly aimed to
libc debugging. i find nice having all the debug symbols in place while
i'm debugging a program.

nothing more. i you don't agree with me feel free to close the report
and i'll continue enumerating all the libc -dbg packages.

thanks
domenico
