I had someone asking about this on a Ubuntu Studio IRC channel, and myself
being ignorant on the subject, I got help from the same person on
collecting some info on debugging symbols being built in into debian
multimedia packages, and also searched the web a bit to see what I could
find.
As he suggested, some packages, such as qtractor, have build flags for
including debug symbols in the rules file.
And what I found while searching the web was that this may be the
preferred way to build debian multimedia packages -
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=684035.
So, my question is, is there a policy for including debug symbols with
debian multimedia packages, and why?
If so, why not split those into additional packages?
