Set MSBuild Web Publish Property "ExcludeGeneratedDebugSymbol" from Command Line

I'm using NAnt to build my project and publish web site project(s). I'd like to include the PDBs in the resulting package. How can I set the ExcludeGeneratedDebugSymbol property from the command line when I execute msbuild?

I tried adding it to the list of parameters but I'm not seeing the PDBs still. My exec task looks like this:

<exec program="${MSBuildPath}" workingdir="${path::get-full-path(PublishWebProject.SourcePath)}\">
  <!-- Don't show the logo. -->
  <arg value="/nologo"/>
  <!-- Build w/o Clean -->
  <arg value="/t:Build"/>
  <!-- Configuration, Output, Options, No Warnings -->
  <arg value="/p:OutputPath=bin\;OutDir=${path::get-full-path(PublishWebProject.OutputPath)};Configuration=${Configuration};Platform=Any CPU;UseWPP_CopyWebApplication=True;PipelineDependsOnBuild=False;WarningLevel=0;RunCodeAnalysis=false;ExcludeGeneratedDebugSymbol=false"/>
  <!-- Quiet -->
  <arg value="/v:q"/>
  <!-- Project Path -->
  <arg value="${PublishWebProject.ProjectFileName}"/>
</exec>

And here is the actual call to MSBuild:

 [exec] Starting 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe (/nologo /t:Build "/p:OutputPath=bin\;OutDir=D:\Projects\XYZ\Publish\Release-Production\CommonWeb\;Configuration=Release-Production;Platform=Any CPU;UseWPP_CopyWebApplication=True;PipelineDependsOnBuild=False;WarningLevel=0;RunCodeAnalysis=false;ExcludeGeneratedDebugSymbol=false" /v:q CommonWeb.csproj)' in 'D:\Projects\XYZ\Source\CommonWeb\'

Which would equate to:

D:\Projects\XYZ\Source\CommonWeb> C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe /nologo /t:Build "/p:OutputPath=bin\;OutDir=D:\Projects\XYZ\Publish\Release-Production\CommonWeb\;Configuration=Release-Production;Platform=Any CPU;UseWPP_CopyWebApplication=True;PipelineDependsOnBuild=False;WarningLevel=0;RunCodeAnalysis=false;ExcludeGeneratedDebugSymbol=false" /v:q CommonWeb.csproj

I've also tried setting the UseWPP_CopyWebApplication to false but this didn't help either.

Your project file contains information on output debug info. Try setting debug info to pdb-only:

<arg value="/debug:pdbonly" />
