Mmm... this should work, but I don't like the idea of symlinking all 
header files. Maybe I could just try something like this:

[/usr/include/vdr/Make.config]

ifdef VDRDEBUGPLUGIN
    CXXFLAGS += -O0 -g -ggdb
    CFLAGS += -O0 -g -ggdb
endif

[/usr/bin/vdrdbg-buildpackage]

#!/bin/sh
export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="$DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS nostrip"
export VDRDEBUGPLUGIN=yes
dpkg-buildpackage $*

I havn't tested it yet, but it should work and doesn't involve any file 
copying.

Ok. I think the debug version isn't that interesting for vdr 1.2.6 at 
all, because most plugin developers
already develop for 1.3.x only. But it would be nice to have this ready 
before 1.4.0 is released. If we put
the script "newplugin" in vdr-dev too, the Debian packages would become 
more interesting for plugin developers
too.
