This use case is IMHO implicitly addressed by making them downloadable and installable on the local system. And I have to agree with Emilio that I don't see the point of a 1:1 relationship of ddeb to binary package just for the sake of library transitions. I wonder if we could just unpack the debugging build-id objects to some other location than globally and point gdb to that in addition to the global debug store. Someone should've pointed a summary of how Ubuntu does it, it seems. Kind regards, Philipp Kern -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
