thank you. Let me merge your better/great description, manpages and symbols. In regard to symbols files when and how to update it?

Okay, but it would be somehow nice if our descriptions will not drift too much and we re-use the same parts?

I never understood (okay compats) why so many packages don't have a -dbg(sym). Should -dbgsym packages be listed on https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/openbsc? So even when going to a mirror I don't see a -dbgsym package next to the other packages? Does one need to raise the compat version for it? > The extra debian dir is no problem.
