Hi! Libraries with `-dbg` package are a pain to deal with when debugging some problem. The solution to ask each user to rebuild the library without stripping debug symbols[1] seem suboptimal. Asking each maintainer to ship a `-dbg` package may be a solution[2] but couldn't we generate those packages automatically by the builders, like this is done with Ubuntu[3]?
I remember we had a discussion about this a few years ago. An automatic service has been setup for this[4] by myon but it does not seem to be updated anymore. Why does this experiment have been stopped? Could we mainstream it?
