Generating Debug Packages using Wix

My question is regarding the best way to generate Debug msi packages using wix.

Below is an explanation of my scenario:

  1. The build server (MSBuild + NAnt) builds the code in Release and Debug configurations separately and pleases the binaries in bin\Release and bin\Debug folders.
  2. The Wix msi's take the binaries from bin\Release and create the required packages.

Now we want to create, packages with debug binaries as well (debug binaries + pdbs).

What is the best way to generate the new debug packages using Wix ?

A. Should I create new wix projects which pick binaries and pdbs from bin\Debug? The NAnt script would need to modified to not build release packages during debug build.

B. Can we modify the existing package code to some how know that it is debug build and conditionally take binaries and pdb's from new location.

Please let me know!

Much Thanks!
