Comment 31 for bug 261380

I guess one thing that needs revisiting in Karmic is the proposed migration to dbgsym packages. Is there some page to track progress on this, not only in qt but all over Ubuntu?

By the way, how about backports? Would it make sense to backport the patch to hardy, which is a LTS after all? In its current state, the debug packages are almost unusable. Unfortunately, fixing the debug packages without rebuilding the other packages would be a major effort, so I'd not do this. At the next opportunity when packages need to be updated to fix some other issues, it might make sense to fix this one as well. What do you think?
