This is good to hear (the Fedora part). Note that we have moved all the symbol/debuginfo manipulation done in Fedora into upstream rpm first and have now spun out that part into a separate project "debugedit" that rpm (and flatpak) now uses and that we hope other distros/packaging tools will adopt: https://sourceware.org/debugedit/ debugedit provides programs and scripts for creating debuginfo and source file distributions, collect build-ids and rewrite source paths in DWARF data for debugging, tracing and profiling. So please point other distros/packagers our way and we'll try to work with them to make these tools as useful to them as they are to Fedora.
