To save time and effort the debug packaging happens automatically in modern
OE, so it's actually effort to split the debug files into multiple
packages.  If you split the packaging from PN-dbg to libfoo-dbg libbar-dbg,
where does the debug source go?  There's even more packages to follow the
dependencies for now too.

As much as I'd like to see 9104 disappear (being the assignee for it), I do
think that supporting a single -dbg package is the right thing to do.
