Some more links and information: - The ddeb repository is at http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/ - They are created on the Ubuntu buildds with pkg-create-dbgsym which diverts dh_strip. Source at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pkg-create-dbgsym They are used by the automatic retracing service of crashes filed in Launchpad with apport. Example for such a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pango1.0/+bug/327446 But one can also use them to locally retrace crashes with apport-retrace: ,---- | Description: tools for reprocessing Apport crash reports | apport-retrace recombines an Apport crash report (either a file or a | Launchpad bug) and debug symbol packages (.ddebs) into fully symbolic | stack traces. | . | This package also ships apport-chroot.
