Do we want to be nicer to packages that don't include sources like this?
Or should we just declare that this is probably a packaging issue (badly
produced debuginfo) and improve the error message?

Alternatively we might just skip creation of the whole debugsource
package. But I couldn't figure out how to do that.

Cheers,
