package: coreutils
severity: wishlist
Some issues require debugging of certain coreutils tools (e.g. chroot
in bug #649146). For those cases, it would be very useful to have a
coreutils-dbg package. As an aside, redhat does provide this as a
convenience to their developers.
Thanks,
Mike

Thread summary: nobody involved in coreutils development can think of a
use case where a debug package is helpful. If you have a bug, just
report it with as much information as you have, and someone will
probably ask for an strace.
For the record, there is now an auto-generated debug package in
debian-debug as a side effect of debhelper v9. This *may* be useful for
someone, but it also may eat your system. The reason I've avoided trying
to accomplish this is that coreutils is a required/essential package,
and there may be bad side effects to trying to install a debug version.
Anyway, it's there if someone wants it, but I do not recommend using it.
