I don't understand - it contains the debug symbols generated by
dh_strip, just as with any other package that generates -dbg packages.

I don't do anything differently with this package than I do with any
other -dbg package - I call dh_strip with the --dbg-package argument.
(Actually, CDBS does this for me when I create a -dbg package in
debian/control.)

What is the problem? The description or the contents?

If it's the contents, I'll have to reassign to debhelper.

AFAICT, most -dbg packages claim to contain "the debugging symbols" for
foo and then use dh_strip --dbg-package to put the contents into that
package.

What is different about libqof1-dbg ?
