Check under the package build directory .../inst/usr/lib/debug/... and whether
those files are in .../dist/${P}/${P}-debuginfo/${P}-debuginfo-${V}-{$R}.tar.xz

Perhaps the maintainer did not use cygport ... upload to push the packages.

Obsolete packages: pkg-config was replaced by pkgconf.

They do not exist for the large number of packages which have no compiled
components and are not debuggable in that way, and have not and are not always
made available for those which do.
Hopefully this will change as more package maintainers use cygport ... upload
instead of adhoc lftp where they may skip the -debuginfo packages.
Perhaps a plea and reminder to the cygwin-apps list would be timely?
