Found the problem:  Ide/compileroptions.pp line 1422

  GenerateDebugInfo :=
aXMLConfig.GetValue(p+'Debugging/GenerateDebugInfo/Value', false);
  UseLineInfoUnit :=
aXMLConfig.GetValue(p+'Debugging/UseLineInfoUnit/Value', true);
  UseHeaptrc := aXMLConfig.GetValue(p+'Debugging/UseHeaptrc/Value', false);
  UseValgrind := aXMLConfig.GetValue(p+'Debugging/UseValgrind/Value',
false);

  if aXMLConfig.GetValue(p+'Debugging/DebugInfoType/Value', '') = '' then
begin
    // upgrading old setting
    DebugInfoType := dsAuto;
    if GenerateDebugInfo then
      DebugInfoType := dsStabs;
    if UseLineInfoUnit or UseHeaptrc or UseValgrind then
      GenerateDebugInfo := True; // LineInfo implies debug info
    b := aXMLConfig.GetValue(p+'Debugging/GenerateDwarf/Value', false);
    if b then begin
      GenerateDebugInfo := True;    // The old setting implied this
      DebugInfoType := dsDwarf2Set; // explicit dwarf, upgrade to +set
    end;

UseLineInfoUnit is set to true if no xml data available and a few lines
further it says if UseLineInfoUnit or UseHeaptrc or UseValgrind then
GenerateDebugInfo := True;

So all packages that don't specify debug info are compiled with -g -gl. QED

Remains the question. How to change the package debug info without
configuring individual packages? This is making debug/release project
management a nightmare.
