Subject: pulseaudio-dbg: Insufficient dependencies for debugging symbols.
Package: pulseaudio-dbg
Version: 0.9.21-1
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Dear Debian people,


I need to generate a symbol breakdown with OProfile for PulseAudio [1]
and for this I need debugging symbols. So I installed `pulseaudio-dbg`,
but GDB did not find any symbols. Afterward I noticed that
`libpulse0-dbg` has not been install and therefore did so to no avail.

        $ LANG=C dpkg -l *pulse*dbg
        […]
        ii  libpulse0-dbg                           0.9.21-1                                PulseAudio client libraries detached debugging symbols
        ii  pulseaudio-dbg                          0.9.21-1                                PulseAudio sound server detached debugging symbols
        $ gdb pulseaudio

        Reading symbols from /usr/bin/pulseaudio...Reading symbols from /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/pulseaudio...done.
        (no debugging symbols found)...done.

So I have two questions.

1. What else is missing to silence the »(no debugging symbols found)«
message?
2. Should not `pulseaudio-dbg` depend on `libpulse0-dbg` since
`pulseaudio` depends on `libpulse0`?


Thanks,

Paul
