I'm not sure that you'd want the debugging .a file in -dbg itself, since
the -dbg packages are for installation on the target device and the .a
libraries would be useless there. 

Punting the debug versions of the .a libraries into a new package
(-static-dbg or some such) wouldn't be a bad idea.  Or, for SDK
purposes, you could even consider ditching the .a libraries altogether
for packages that have a .so since virtually nobody is going to be doing
static linking in this day and age.
