This does not look as making any sense.  Why would I want to install a
debugging build?!

Puzzled,
Ilya

P.S.  All I need¹⁾ from a debugging build is the suitable compilation
      and linking flags.  I definitely would not want to learn
      yet-another-magic-incantation for the build process…

        ¹⁾ In fact, no.  Maybe “the ability to skip installing” to get
           “the extra functionality” might be also useful…
