FWIW, I think it makes sense for it to be a separate package or even for
it just to be installed along-side cygwin1.dll in the standard
distribution.  We already install /usr/include along with cygwin1.dll so
it sorta kinda is consistent to also include cygwin1.dbg too if you
squint at it just right.
