Until this goal is reached ... you can do the following. # apt-get build-dep pkgname $ apt-get source pkgname $ cd pkgname-version $ DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -B This will create a debug package that you can install and run to get a stacktrace. (Warning: this debug package will overwrite your existing package unless you make some other changes. However, you can revert to your existing package with 'aptitude reinstall pkgname').
