Why do we do this? It seems to me that this scenario has not been completely thought through. We have a flag that says "build both sets of pdb files" - that's fine. But once we have them both we then have a number of steps in the build (I don't know how many) that could choose to use one or the other, but we seem to lack a way of saying which should be used. I think there has to be explicit control and not try to guess what we think users might want.
