Public bug reported: I suggest that Ubuntu set debugInfoURL to https://debuginfod.ubuntu.com
I don't really use debuginfod so I'm unsure of the effect of this change. Background ========== Ubuntu sets the package note metadata by default with dpkg since June 2024. Debian does not currently do this; however, some packages like libzstd add Build-Depends: dh-package-notes and add include /usr/share/debhelper/dh_package_notes/package-notes.mk to debian/rules to get the field. According to https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/dh_package_notes that will set the debugInfoURL field to https://debuginfod.debian.net/ on Debian and to https://debuginfod.ubuntu.com on Ubuntu. (Not mentioned in the current manpage is that it's actually a no-op on Ubuntu since package-notes 0.14.) The manpage also says that it will set the OS field to "Ubuntu", but Ubuntu sets it to "ubuntu" instead.
