Currently -dev packages will be installed, but -dbg packages will not
(since the components of the -dbg package aren't placed in ${D}). So if
anything this patch (or better yet, the v2 I'll be sending shortly) will
improve the situation.

Although I have noticed that there are differences between the -dbg package
that is created with the normal bitbake workflow and the -dbg package that
is created as part of the "devtool modify ..." workflow.
