which results in debuginfo only being available in the dbgsym package.

Binaries must contain debug symbols before packaging so use either ``Debug``
or ``RelWithDebInfo`` for :variable:`CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` variable value.
Additionally, if :variable:`CPACK_STRIP_FILES` is set, the files will be stripped before
