But this introduces a whole raft of dpkg problems during the attempted install.
Most appear to be associated with the *pcp-dbgsym packages that I don't recall

I have a fix pending, but it is pretty ugly. dh_strip now has a new and

I am asserting that we don't want or need these debugging symbol
packages (developers have other options, users at large in PCPland tend
not to post bugs for which these would have proved useful in the past).
Or at least we don't want them until the case is compelling enough to
unravel what extra magic and spells we need to make the packaging work
... out of the box this is not a happy experience as of today.
