apport-retrace with the --sandbox option does that job quite nicely these days. If you install the package, you get an "Examine locally.." button in crash dialogs that will throw you into either a gdb session or give you a full stack trace without having to do anything manually. That's about as far as we'll get this I think, and thus I close the bug now.

Using 'Suggests:' or the new 'Recommends:' setup would allow these packages (which are fairly small) to be pulled in. They would also automatically be removed when the application-level debug symbols are removed and would not break a the setup if removed directly.
