Please add the debian-debug repository to your apt sources:
https://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace#Installing_the_debugging_symbols

It isn't enabled by default, to avoid downloading lots of -dbgsym metadata
in the (hopefully common) case where you aren't debugging something.

gitg-dbgsym is definitely available:
