This isn't really policy, the policy is one -dbg package per recipe and
that is how the dependency chains and dbg-pkgs in IMAGE_FEATURES work
and so on.

I'm not arguing this is perfect, its not and I would like to see it
change. It is how it all works today though. Is there a pressing reason
we need to do something different here?

Cheers,

Richard
