Bug#766732: Attempting (failing) to load debugging symbols for glib-2.0-0

Backtrace revealed missing debug info in glib, viz...
Thread 5 (Thread 0x7fffe5d4e700 (LWP 3843)):
#0  0x00007ffff3c760ed in poll () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
No symbol table info available.
#1  0x00007ffff4c52ee4 in ?? ()
from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0
No symbol table info available.
... etc

So I thought I needed to install the debug version of libglib2.0-0
sudo apt-get -t testing install libglib2.0-0-dbg
(looks OK)

And try again...

Am I missing something or is there a problem with the debug package?
Sorry about the noise on this bug report, I seem to be struggling.
