Re: Another dumb idea: debugging info in .deb's

Sure -- .stabs are basically text.  Also, there is a lot of
redundancy;  Ken Raeburn found a way to do "common subexpression
elimination" on stabs (under a.out) which required no changes in the
readers, just in the writers.  I'm pretty sure there was a reason it
wouldn't work in ELF though...  so there are lots of opportunities for
bulk compression.

If doing something like "debian/rules INSTALLOPT=" is good enough,
that certainly seems doable...
