The moving of *dbg files in this manner maybe a legacy trait which may
no longer be necessary. I will look at this as part of the whole
updating of the build scripts and making them compliant with debian and
ubuntu policies.

Agreed. We should have the full raft of *.dbg files available for end
user crash reports. Well... When we have a working and viable bug
tracking system that is. ;-)

Not sure if debian/ubuntu has this feature. It would be nice to tell
users that they can run an app etc. with issues in gdb and it prompts
for debug package install. I will research this in time. If no, maybe
will can beef up the docs with a section on effective bug reporting.
