Description Richard Purdie 2015-03-20 11:48:52 UTC
Having to manually construct the FILES_${PN}-dbg variable is error prone and pretty pointless. We should replace it with some code which simply finds .debug directories and places them into the -dbg package.

Yes, its more hardcoded however it means we could remove a ton of pretty boring and useless FILES variables.
