Mostly when we started including the .dbg files.  :)

No, they are not necessary.  These .dbg files just contain the debugging 
 symbols that have been stripped out of the executables, and are only 
of use if
  (a) you wish to debug the binaries w/ a debugger like gdb, or
  (b) of (heaven forbid!) a Condor daemon should terminate w/ an 
unexpected signal due to a bug -- if this happens, the log file can 
contain a useful stack backtrace that can assist in debugging the problem.
