    debug-7zip vs debug_7zip

I've thought some more about it. I think I would really prefer that we
pivoted from debug- to debug_, in order not to change the rules for stem
recognition in packagenames.

Granted, there is a small price to pay during the transition (mostly looking
for both debug- and debug_ for a little while plus conflicting with debug_
in order to update debug packages).

But that's a one shot, and once the transition is done, we can simplify wipe
the extra code.

Or heck, we don't even bother. After all, debug packages are only used for...
debugging, not many people are using them, and they would know what to do
(hopefully).

So, yeah, much prefer debug_.
