Public bug reported:

The issue to address here is the avoidance of conflicting dbg/dbgsym
files, generated by dh_strip (debhelper). see also
https://bugs.debian.org/981245

debugedit is built from rpm, so this would be a source promotion, plus a
binary promotion of debugedit and librpmio9.

 - the packaging is standard debhelper packaging

 . the source package in Debian is not regularly updated.
   Just saw some NMUs.

 - the tool tools/debugedit.c is rather self-contained,
   only using some digest functions from librpmio.
   The debugedit code was updated with upstream patches
   to handle the new DWARF 5 debugging format.

Other solutions could be:

 - carry a local patch to provide the digest functions
   just for debugedit, or use an existing implementation
   which already is in main.  That would avoid the
   dependency of librpmio9.

 - Do the above, and split debugedit into it's own source
   package. Then would require keeping up with new
   rpm updates.
