Enable the whole SONiC to be built with SONIC_DEBUGGING_ON=y.

- Why I did it
I wanted test & developement builds of SONiC to contain all the debug info. However if I build SONiC with SONIC_DEBUGGING_ON=y, the build stops as not all dbgsym packages are generated.

- How I did it
Replaced absent dbgsym packages with a dummy .deb file.

- How to verify it
Open rules/config in text editor and uncomment SONIC_DEBUGGING_ON=y.
Then build as usual:

make configure PLATFORM=broadcom
make target/sonic-broadcom.bin

The reulting image is somewhat bigger, but not much.

- Which release branch to backport (provide reason below if selected)

• 201811
• 201911
• 202006

- Description for the changelog

Enabled the whole SONiC image to be built with debug info.

can you check this pr? seems trying to solve the same issue? #6058

[Str1ker17]

Yes, it seems the issue is the same.
However we are both doing the wrong way; the right way is to make debhelper generate an empty dbgsym.deb file.
@tim-rj what do you think about it?

[tim-rj]

hi Str1ker17, I think since there are no dbgsym debs when option is nostrip, there is no need to touch empty dbgsym debs just for compiling.

@tim-rj But I want the full SONiC image containing all possible debug symbols. Why it is not possible to build it out of the box?
If some package is poorly configured and does not export symbols from itself, I see few reasons to break the build completely in this case.

P.S. I am responding after a year, so the situation has possibly changed. So please tell me if it's possible to build SONiC with all debug symbols.

It hasn't changed. The problems described in #6413 andhttps://github.com//issues/5982 still exist.
