Debian is slowly dropping manual debug symbol packages (-dbg) in favour of automatic ones (-dbgsym). https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2015/12/msg00262.html Ubuntu have automatic debug packages (.ddebs) since ever, and in case a manual -dbg package exists it transitionally pulls it in: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debug%20Symbol%20Packages I know a little work happened to make Ubuntu build debug packages as does Debian now, I guess this work will (very) slowly make them converge. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`. more about me: https://mapreri.org : :' : Launchpad user: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri `. `'` Debian QA page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mattia `-
