Make it easier for users/devs to get backtraces for EFL apps. Automatic dbgsym results in 49 dbgsym packages from src:efl. Getting all of the required ones for a given backtrace can be a chore. A metapackage occurred to me as a possible improvement in the absence of a tool addressing #843466. I'm also unsure how to ship it. It couldn't go in main, since it'd depend on packages in debug. And I couldn't find an example of metapackages in debug. (Nothing jumps out of "aptitutde search -- '-dbgsym' | grep meta" though this makes questionable assumptions about naming.) Any other ideas would be welcome too. Ross
