After sending this I realized I made a mistake. Try this:
     Flag: debug
     Default: False

     Flag: foo-debug-available
     Default: available(foo-debug)

     Configuration: flag(debug) && foo-debug-available
     Name: bar-debug
     Build-depends: foo-debug
     Cpp-Options: -DDEBUG

     Configuration: flag(debug) && !foo-debug-available
     Name: bar-debug
     Build-depends: foo
     Cpp-Options: -DDEBUG

     Configuration: !flag(debug)
     Name: bar
     Build-depends: foo

Unfortunately, this way of requesting "using the debug version if available"
does not scale.
