Could you explain a bit more about what merits you see in creating something that we call a different type of package rather than just listing debug packages in debian/control and building them as we do now and handling section debug specially in the archive software? Is it just the avoiding of the need to add a bunch of debian/control entries? -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
