Bug#1072167: grub-pc-dbg: newly-added symbol file "..." does not provide any symbols

[Ben Hutchings]

Control: tag -1 confirmed patch

I confirm that grub-pc-dbg is broken - the kernel.exec and *.image files
are stripped.  Similarly in other -dbg packages:

grub-coreboot-dbg/usr/lib/grub/i386-coreboot/kernel.exec:               ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel i386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
grub-ieee1275-dbg/usr/lib/grub/i386-ieee1275/kernel.exec:               ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel i386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
grub-xen-dbg/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-xen/kernel.exec:                       ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
grub-xen-dbg/usr/lib/grub/i386-xen_pvh/kernel.exec:                     ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel i386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
grub-xen-dbg/usr/lib/grub/i386-xen/kernel.exec:                         ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel i386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped

Possibly dh_strip no longer treats legacy *-dbg packages as special?

In any case, this can be fixed by adding .exec and .image to the
dh_strip exclusions.  This is what the attached patch does.

Ben.
