Replace: + It is recommended to support building the package with + debugging information through the following interface: with: + Debugging symbols are useful for error diagnosis, investigation + of core dumps (which may be submitted by users in bug reports), + or testing and developing the software. Therefore it is + recommended to support building the package with + debugging information through the following interface: Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
