[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#955752: lintian should ignore /usr/lib/debug/.dwz when checking library-in-debug-or-profile-should-not-be-stripped

[Ximin Luo]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.59.0
Severity: normal
Control: affects -1 rustc debhelper

Dear Maintainer,

I updated rustc from debhelper compat 9 to 12 which enables dh_dwz.
Sadly for rustc this causes an empty multifile to be created as
/usr/lib/debug/.dwz/i386-linux-gnu/rustc.debug which lintian reports
an error on, causing an FTP auto-reject.

Since these files under /usr/lib/debug/.dwz are autogenerated
compression files, there is no point checking them. Files that seem
to be stripped, are just an artifact of the compression algorithm
and don't indicate an actual mistake by the package maintainer.
