Debug libraries are quite useful to have, RelWithDebInfo works but is
not ideal for debugging in many cases.

Still, most users that make their own Blender builds do not need debug
libraries, so if they make the svn checkout e.g. 2x larger it would be
good to be able to download them separately. So you're saying all the
debug libs are only 150 MB? That seems quite small so might be ok.
