More of a design property actually :)
There's an explicit test in the packaging loop to avoid registering
debug-packages, for several reasons
- their packing-lists don't exist independently of normal packages
- I don't think you'd fancy twice that many files in the plist directory
- it allowed for rapid development while in-tree, as the generating code
has had to evolve several times.
