Someone else asked this earlier - but why do users need the debug-info packages - only the debugger looking at the tracebacks needs this. So seems installing the debug files on every desktop/server that has a problem is much less efficient than just on the dev computer who needs the info - no?This is a good point, the users shouldn't really have to install debuginfo for a one-off use. It would be better for a central server or service to have access to all the debuginfo files at all versions. The back end processing of symbol-less backtraces + version info to fully annotated ones could be automated.
There has been such idea called debugfs, but it was cancelled (don't remember the reason), but I agree that would be probably the best option, because when user creates the backtrace he needs to install the whole debuginfo, but then GDB reads just a few kilobytes.
