[wix-users] Include (or not) files based in Build Configuration

[Edwin Castro]

Are the Debug and Releae PackageGroups defined in the same Fragment? If so,
then they are both included anytime one of them is referenced.

Ensure the Debug PackageGroup is defined in its own Fragment and the
Release PackageGroup is defined in a different Fragment. Similarly, any
other references should be separated into appropriate Fragments so they are
included only if actually referenced.
