Ok, I installed maemo-debug (so pretty much everything), and ran the
following command, just to be sure:

Nokia-N800-26:~# debug-dep-install /usr/bin/browser.launch
<snip>
Debug packages are MISSING for following dependencies:
- browser-eal
- gtkhtml0
- hildon-base-lib0
- libart-2.0-2
- libcst
- libdb1
- libgconf2-6
- libgtkadi1
- libjpeg62
- libmatchbox1
- libmediaplayer0
- libosso-certman1
- libosso-help0
- libossomime0
- libssl0.9.7
- osso-bookmark-engine
- osso-bookmark-menu
- osso-esd
- osso-ic-lib
- tablet-browser-controls
- tablet-browser-dialogs
- tablet-browser-ui
- tablet-browser-widgets
- zlib1g

So I think I have everything possible, except the missing packages.
The gdb problem is still there, sadly.

Yes, the opera based browser, which does not exist on x86. Or am I
missing something?

on the device:
~ $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/browser.launch
tablet-browser-ui: /usr/bin/browser.launch
~ $ apt-cache policy tablet-browser-ui
tablet-browser-ui:
  Installed: 0.2.9-1
  Candidate: 0.2.9-1
  Version table:
 *** 0.2.9-1 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

on the x86 scratchbox:
[sbox-SDK_X86: ~] > ls /usr/bin/br*
ls: /usr/bin/br*: No such file or directory
