 why this?  if you're going to do something like this then actually
 save the data into the debug sets.  anyone who is using these is
 likely happy they have debug info, so removing it is likely to be
 sad-making.
 
 but i really think the saner move is to leave this as-is and
 change the default for MKPICINSTALL to "no".  the vast majority
 of people are never going to use them so it's wasteful to install,
 debug info or not.
