Package: debuginfod
Version: 0.196-1
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

Disclosure: this bug report is a suggestion prompted by my work on
Valgrind in Ubuntu, but I think it'd be best also for valgrind in
Debian.

I have refreshed valgrind and in that process, fixed a bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1103846

For now, the fix is valgrind Recommends: debuginfod. This is not perfect
as debuginfod itself comes with a web server which adds to the
vulnerability surface of a machine.

Valgrind only needs debuginfod-find, and after some thinking, I believe
that having debuginfod-find in a separate bin: package could be
beneficial to everybody. It'd allow to have debuginfod-find without
having the whole debuginfod server.

I am happy to offer a debdiff that does that, or a MR on salsa if you
are happy with the idea.

What are your thoughts?

Bests,
