Debug package

Hi!

I introduced a debug package. It's one single package with debug symbols
for all the other packages. Therefore, I named it cyrus-sasl2-dbg.

It'll have to go trough NEW, but I think it's really worth it -- as hmh
said in #240767 -- there are many open bugs against this package where
having debugging symbols is pretty essential when asking the user to
provide more information.

I'm under the impression that gdb will automatically load debugging
symbols from /usr/lib/debug and thus we don't even have to provide any
special docs for users to follow, we just ask them to install this -dbg
package and then run the program under gdb. (The latter depends on the
situation, so I don't think we write more than a few lines of general
advice.) Does anyone have contradicting knowledge?

I'll wait a few days, but then I'm going to upload this so that it has a
chance to go through NEW before it's really too late.

Cheers,
