Lukas (slyon) asked if the *-dbg-* packages are needed in main. [1] We had a long discussion in the .NET Team and would like to have these binary packages in main. These packages contain .pdb files of the runtimes/SDK/standard libraries. These allow developers to step through library/framework code and therefore contribute to a frictionless developer experience.

We would like to have dotnet8 in main too, which was already discussed during the dotnet6 MIR (see comment 13 [1]). The dotnet8 package is structurally nearly identical. We do this deliberately to lower the maintenance burden. [Notable differences] * There is a single public upstream repository [2] to download all the source code from, therefore uscan can be used to produce the a orig tarball. Note: We do not use uscan, because its limitations adds overhead for our purposes (e.g. using the security repository by default, removing non-linux files, conditionaly including ms prebuilds for bootstraping, etc.). * The source package and it's binary packages have a different upstream version scheme (see spec FO127 [3]). * The source package produces additional binary packages, which include managed code debug symbols (packages with the name pattern *-dbg-8.0). See upstream issue [4] and PR [5]. * We no longer need a .git folder in the orig tarball thanks of upstream efforts. + [Other] + + The naming pattern of the *-dbg-8.0 packages is a recommendation by + upstream that we follow.
