This depends on what app you want to debug. Say you want to debug /bin/ls.

First you need to find out what package provides this file:

$ dpkg -S /bin/ls
coreutils: /bin/ls

Package name is coreutils. Next you need to install debug symbols for this package following instructions in https://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace#Installing_the_debugging_symbols. It should be either coreutils-dbgsym or coreutils-dbg package. So the command to install debug symbols package would be one of these:

 # apt-get install coreutils-dbgsym

or

 # apt-get install coreutils-dbg
