Bug#319275: libc6-dbg: unusable debug information files in /usr/lib/debug/lib
Package: libc6-dbg
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-22
Severity: normal
Because files in /usr/lib/debug/lib lack all debug sections other than
.debug_frame, gdb fails to acquire debug information automatically
(See 15.2 Debugging Information in Separate of gdb.info).
IMHO, the package should have correct debug information files in all
possible (for each variant like tls) directories in the global debug
file directory. Libraries with debug information in /usr/lib/debug
seem useless.
