Hi Paul,

  hmm.. I'm not receiving messages from the bts in my mailbox, hence
the late reply.

The "test" (much to be improved) just needs debug symbols for trying
to analyze some binary. It's very simple test to prove that pahole does
not die badly like when DWARF-4 has been introduced.

At the moment does not really matter if such symbols are coming from
testing or unstable as long as they match the version of the binary
being analyzed.

I thought to untangle a little bit the situation in using some binary
different from dwarves itself, in that:

 dwarves/unstable + dwarves-dbgsym/testing => unsatisfiable
 
Do you still think that skip-not-installable is better? Why?

thanks,
Domenico
