import type ;
rule my-tag ( name : type ? : property-set )
{
if [ type.is-derived $(type) LIB ]
{
if [ $(property-set).get <variant> ] = debug
{
return $(name)d ;
} 
}
}

lib test : [ glob ...... ] : <include>inc <tag>@$(__name__).my-tag ;

should do the trick. BTW, [ glob src *.cxx ] looks suspicious. Don't you
mean [ glob src/*.cxx ] ?
