Generate monetdb-dbg.deb package

It's generally helpful for users to have access to debug symbols for the pre-built binaries downloaded from the MonetDB web site. It allows not-particularly-technical users to generate more useful crash reports without needing to go through the hassle of building from source. Debug symbols are also good for profiling tools.

The attached patch does this for the .deb packages, following the instructions at https://wiki.debian.org/DebugPackage. I'm not personally familiar with the other deployment platforms you offer.
