[Bug 65283] Re: Allow easy installation of -dbgsym packages

[Martin Pitt]

apport-retrace with the --sandbox option does that job quite nicely
these days. If you install the package, you get an "Examine locally.."
button in crash dialogs that will throw you into either a gdb session or
give you a full stack trace without having to do anything manually.
That's about as far as we'll get this I think, and thus I close the bug
now.

Title:
  Allow easy installation of -dbgsym packages

Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “pkg-create-dbgsym” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  If I'm trying to debug package 'foo', by fetching the '-dbgsym' for
  that application, it would be handy if dbgsymbols for all of the
  libraries dependencies of that application could also be installed.

  Using 'Suggests:' or the new 'Recommends:' setup would allow these
  packages (which are fairly small) to be pulled in.  They would also
  automatically be removed when the application-level debug symbols are
  removed and would not break a the setup if removed directly.
