To be honest, I do not like your patch.

The -dbg package currently contains not only debug symbols, but also the
C extensions built for debug Python interpreter. And you are removing them
even on the platforms where they are successfully built.

In my opinion a better solution (for Stretch) would be just adding an
Architecture: field to the -dbg packages (and for Buster, porting the code
to support big endian architectures).

Also, even if you really wanted to switch to -dbgsym, there is no need to
keep the old -dbg packages for transition. You could use --dbgsym-migration
option of dh_strip instead.
