Build a single debug package for all packages from a PKGBUILD
We want to provide source files with debug symbol packages to allow easy stepping through the program. This becomes difficult with split packages due to the binaries in many of these sharing source files across packages. There are (at least) two solutions to this problem. #1: ensure common source files are located in the debug package for the package lowest in the dependency chain and add dependencies to the debug packages so all require source files are present, or #2: create one debug package for all split packages in a PKGBUILD. The second is a more robust approach despite potentially creating very large debug packages. This patch creates a single $pkgbase-debug package and adds provides such that installing $pkgname-debug will always work. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
