I didn't know about that one :-)

That's more the domain of the DOSE based checks done by Ralf (sid only)
and me (locally, using piuparts as backend, including cross-distro
tests). I could probably hack -debug into these, too.

I'm also running regular piuparts tests on the -debug archive, but that
seemed boring so far (i.e. no "interesting" failures), so I didn't
propose it for piuparts.d.o
I think there is (was?) a problem on the ftp-master side by listing
uninstallable -dbgsym .deb packages for sid (and buster?) where the
corresponding source is "Extra-Source-Only: yes" (and therefore the
dependency .debs are not listed in sid), but I didn#t investigate further.
