You can't "install debug symbols".
You can in Debian. I'm not sure how they do it, but they do package
debug symbols separately for some libraries. You still need to get the
library source from a different package in order to use those debug
symbols.
Packages are built with debugging symbols, then
objcopy --only-keep-debug
is used to move the debugging information into separate files and later
into a separate package.
The process is explained in more detail in objcopy's manpage, under the
help for the above option.
