Package: emacs Version: 23.2+1-5.1 Severity: wishlist Emacs crashes are annoying, and figuring out the issue that caused it can be hard at times. One thing making it much harder than it could be is the absence of debugging symbols, making backtrace from running within a debugger or using a coredump much less useful than they could be,
I'd really appreciate an emacs23-dbg package containing those symbols, saving me from going through the trouble of compiling all of emacs myself only to be able to debug its crashes. FWIW, the emacs-snapshot packages Romain Francoise provides at http://emacs.orebokech.com/ also provide emacs-snapshot-dbg, so providing emacs23-dbg should be easy enough by just borrowing from there.
