In fact, I will provide the needed patches for a separate [debug] and [community-debug] repo if that is what is decided to happen.
I personally think that is the only way to go about it. I wouldn't want -debug packages to take up search output, but I'd want them to exist somewhere accessible.
Couldn't pacman be fixed to only show debug packages in search results when you ask for it with a switch? Maybe something similar could be done for language packages?
An immediate possibility is to simply duplicate buildscripts to the debug repos and push only debug packages there.
Of course, that'd be a manual process, and stuff won't be in sync/integrated, but it does mean that it's not anything impossible given our current packaging infrastructure.
