[Deborphan-devel] Bug#739015: deborphan: it shouldn't treat -dbgsym packages as orphaned

[Reuben Thomas]

Package: deborphan
Version: 1.7.28.8
Severity: normal

Ubuntu -dbgsym packages are treated as orphaned (when installed
alongside the library pacakge and -dev package), whereas -dbg packages
(essentially the same thing) are correctly not so treated.

Although -dbgsym packages are, as far as I'm aware, not made in
Debian, this seems a problem that should nonetheless be fixed upstream
in reportbug, and not in an Ubuntu-specific patch.
