You're saying that we could set it up so that the local user could build the -dbg packages if they need them. One difficulty is that in general the debugging symbols from a different build will not match the libraries in the Debian archive, so the local user would need to build a whole new set of packages and replace the packages on their system with them. Otherwise, yes, that would work, although we don't really have a good mechanism for Debian packages to optionally build certain packages from the same source. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
