I don't object, but it would be more likely to happen sooner if someone
offers me a patch that implements it.

Bug#774490: tar: Please generate -dbg package for tar

[Vincent Stehl?]

Package: tar
Version: 1.27.1-2+b1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Would you please consider generating a `-dbg' package for tar, with debug 
symbols?

This is useful for example when using `perf top' on a system where top is in
the first consumers. This should help also for capturing backtraces in case of
crash, or for debugging.

Thank you for Debian tar!

V.
