Package: libglib2.0-0-refdbg Version: 2.34.2-1 Severity: wishlist libglib2.0-refdbg is configured with --disable-Bsymbolic (which is the original reason it exists) and also with --enable-debug=yes. However, the --enable-debug=yes option also affects glib (gdate, gmem, gslice) and gio (enabling checked casts).
Since we're compiling them anyway, it might be worth including the debug-enabled glib and gio in libglib2.0-refdbg, or in a new binary package, or in libglib2.0-0-dbg, or something? There are some other tweaks that could usefully be applied to a debug-enabled, LD_LIBRARY_PATH'able package set: on linux-any we could --enable-dtrace --enable-systemtap (with a systemtap-sdt-dev build-dependency), and when <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335126> is eventually fixed, we could use -DNVALGRIND for the "production" build but use the system valgrind.h for the debug build (on supported architectures). libdbus has a similar debug-enabled, LD_LIBRARY_PATH'able alternative build in /usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/dbus-1.0/debug-build, in the dbus-1-dbg package.
