Kontact Mobile N900 dbg packages

[Bjoern Ricks]

Yesterday I did fix the debug packages and now their content is installed 
in /opt/maemo/usr/lib/debug with symlinks in /usr/lib/debug to the /opt dir. 
Therefore all (new) kdepim related debug packages should be installalable 
without a problem.

regards
Björn
