Conventions Question: debug REMOVE_RECURSE

[nolan-yoo-miris]

Hi all,

We're using vcpkg to manage both internal and external dependencies - with the upstream ports, we've noticed something a bit confusing.

We're seeing a lot of portfiles with the following:
file(REMOVE_RECURSE "${CURRENT_PACKAGES_DIR}/debug/include" "${CURRENT_PACKAGES_DIR}/debug/share")

Or something similar.

I saw this:
#1789

I have a similar line of questioning:

• how does this impact debug builds/functionality in the vcpkg build pipeline?
• why is this recommended?
