Yes, for C/C++ packages.

-debuginfo should be for the same build version as a binary itself.
Most users never install -debuginfo. I'm not sure that old packages are tracked
somewhere for, say, rawhide.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, -fexceptions is very useful.
I enabled it long time ago.

Does it log stack traces with symbol names on crash?
Currently we manually produce stack traces on crashes in Tarantool (a in-memory
database),
because coredumps are completely overkill for some large instances.
