While clearing your throat, mind telling us how this works in Ubuntu with PPAs? What happens if you installed a package from a PPA and you want to generate a backtrace of a program that happens to use that package? 1. You'll get debug information for the package. 2. You won't get debug information for the package. 3. You may accidentally get debug information for a diffent version of the package. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il | | best tzaf...@debian.org | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
