Debian policy is for the standard version of a library to be available 
*without* debugging symbols. Usually, if people want a debugging version 
to be available, they make a package called lib*-dbg.

Are you saying that the option of compiling without different versions of 
PETSc is not available as of 2.3/0.5.8? In that case, which ones doe it 
use, and is there any point in shipping different versions?

Does DOLFIN itself not have an option to switch -g on/off? If not, does 
it compile with or without -g?
