The latter. > Last but not least, what about security support? None of the suites available on it (unstable/experimental) recieve security updates. The packages on it are ones produced at the same time as the other packages. So when testing gets added and there is a testing security update (almost never happens), the security update will also automatically build -dbgsym packages as long as the relevant debhelper version is installed. Once stretch is released as stable, the same applies. jessie/wheezy/etc will of course not get -dbgsym packages. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
