Isn't it better to ship Phobos and druntime with debug

Yes, providing something immediately usable with the -debuglib
switch would be nice (I'd imagine a build without -O or
-inline). However, if the performance impact of -gs is
negligible, there's little reason not to enable it in the
release
version of Phobos. Those who want every 0.x% of performance
can always build/write their own library.
If it's the right thing to be doing, the better question is
'why isn't it the default' and not an option that has to be
turned on?
Some debugger allow you to change the value of variables when the
program is paused or some other similar stuffs. It require more
information than simply the stack trace.
