I'm experiencing segfaults with ghostscript (using it from epstopdf or directly on eps files) and would like to provide a meaningful backtrace. But as there's no -dbg package that means I have to rebuild it completely with -g and -O0. It'd be nice to have the debugging symbols somewhere.
Help much appreciated here.I do understand that a -dbg package is essentially a rebuild without optimizations and without stripping. But I have no expecience in this, so could use a pointer to some guidelines of whatminimal pieces are needed to extract and include in that -dbg package and where to put it (I believe I saw somewhere that there's a trick of putting -dbg libs in a subdir which makes it extend (not replace) the normal package and get used if available).
