Eric,

No -dbg packages should be required to run GDAL.
-dbg are for debugging, for developers, and I don't suppose any of Linux
distrubutions / packaging systems require user to install a -dbg
package to use a library or run an application.
Even if you want to build a software yourself, no -dbg packages should
be required. -dbg packages are useful for debugging, to get meaningful
backtrace, etc.

OK, found

Yes, that's good too.

Yes, everything looks correct to me.
