Description:

I understand the want to not have debug symbols clog the archives, but glibc-debug is
a _very_ special case, without it you can't even view the value of "errno"
in gdb, instead you have to switch between strace and gdb to get errno values,
which is very painful.

ALL packages link against glibc, and use its functions, having debug for libc6 is
absolutely essential. I am not asking for debug packages to litter the archives,
I am asking for just this one essential debug package to be added to the archives.
This task depends upon

/usr/lib/libc-2.18.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), BuildID[sha1]=955e1f73103beb01da546030a56ef1c700d30cdd, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, not stripped

So.... "not stripped".

Which library do you want debugging symbols for?
