Package: kvm
Version: 79+dfsg-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi, given that kvm is still undergoing rapid development, I often find
myself debugging various issues, and it is useful to have debugging
symbols for the userspace component available, if only to report sane
backtraces upstream.
I've been building my own packages with the patch below applied; I
think it would be broadly useful to apply something like this to the
standard Debian packaging.
Thanks.
