I don't get why binding was added with cx_dbgc, but DTS not. Neither
binding nor DTS depends on actual usage, so I assume someone
intentionally did not want DTS to contain cx_dbgc and binding should
follow. Otherwise we should make the DTS complete and make the binding
strict (leading to warnings if DTS is not updated).
