Package: libdebuginfod-common Version: 0.183-7 Severity: normal The libdebuginfod-common package is just a copy of the libdebuginfo1 package with "common files" tacked on:
Description: library to interact with debuginfod (common files)
The libdebuginfo1 package provides a library with an interface to interact
with debuginfod.
.
This package contains the common files for libdebuginfod.
I would suggest something like this instead:
Description: optionally enable use of the Debian debug info server
This package asks if it should enable use of the Debian debug info
server with debugging tools that use libdebuginfo such as GDB.
.
When this is allowed by the sysadmin, a snippet will be added to the
shell configuration. You will need to restart your shell after
installing this package before the snippet will work.
.
The Debian debug info server will be contacted every time debugging
tools attempt to look up debug info for binaries or libraries but the
server does not log requests for debug info.
.
The Debian debug info server uses https to securely transfer debugging
files but does not offer OpenPGP signing of debug info.
I also wonder if it is perhaps incorrectly named and should be named
something like libdebuginfod-server-debian. It could also be renamed to
libdebuginfod-servers and include other servers like the Fedora one, in
case Debian users are doing remote debugging of non-Debian systems.
