Package: gdb
Version: 7.12-4
Severity: normal

When I've upgraded a library or a binary and then subsequently try to
create a backtrace from a core file created before the upgrade, I get a
warning about a mismatch between the core file and the executable but
the warning is completely annoyingly non-actionable because it doesn't
include any information about build-ids so I can't lookup the old ones
on build-id.debian.net and download the binary packages from the
snapshot.debian.org service. The warnings about libraries should also be 
printing out mismatched build-ids.

warning: core file may not match specified executable file.
