I wonder would it be possible to build a package in the same -nightly feed that has a different name and conflicts with the "normal" package, and depends on the -dbg package?
certainly it's possible. The problem is more how to do that without
creating a lot of manual labour, both one time and in terms of
continuous maintenance.
having "non-optimizied copies" of all packages in a feed sounds like
it will need maintenance every time a package changes or a new one is
created, which I wouldn't consider given the constant ongoing burden
it puts on the maintenance.
So I guess it boils down to finding whatever has the least impact
on our packaging and maintenance effort while still enabling users
to run -O0 without having to build from source.
As stated, ideally the non-optimized feed of the same flavor (nightly,
latest, upcoming stable releases) would not conflict with the optimzied
one so you would end up with the same situation as you request; the
only difference would be that you'd add two apt feeds and then have to
specify from which of those feeds you'd want to install 'osmo-bts'.
