Regardless of whether this bug eventually ends up as "Won't Fix" or not, I don't think it's valid to set it as such on the basis of the mail quoted above. That mail concerns how to build the debug packages locally, not why they are no longer in the archive.
Looking through the kernel-team mail archives, I found this thread: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2009-March/004570.html which demonstrates that the rationale for no longer publishing debug packages in the archive and the validity of not doing so is unresolved. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Won't Fix => Confirmed -- Missing linux-image-debug packages and metapackages since Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289087 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
