Probably not much if the dpkg-architecture crashes are infrequent
and not easily reproducible.

However, the detached debug symbols for /usr/bin/perl / libperl5.24
etc. are in perl-debug too and should be more useful for that case.
(I see we don't mention them in the perl-debug package description but
we clearly should.)

See also #810327.

There's /usr/bin/debugperl in the perl-debug package, maybe that
helps? 

Cheers,

Bug#868275: perl: add debug symbols packages

2017-07-13 Thread Paul Wise
Source: perl
Severity: wishlist

I have recently been getting some crashes in perl when it is running
dpkg-architecture. I'd like to report them but there are no debug
symbols packages for perl, it would be good to enable this.
