In the build tree, I would expect "foo" not "foo-d" for the debug framework.
And in the build tree, it is possible to differentiate the release from debug simply by having two "foo.framework/foo".  One will be in the Release folder and one in the Debug folder, and a Debug build will use the one from the Debug folder, while the release build will use the one from the Release folder.

For the install tree, I don't see how it is known which configurations will be installed.  If there was some way to know both Release and Debug were going to be installed, then it could be known at that point to rename the debug file to "foo-d".
