they're not going to woody, anyway... they're not stable enough for that

I'd say its more useful and productive to receive 'hey, you're not stripping
it!' and mark them as 'won't fix' explainig the purpose of the packages
*and* bug reports with debuging information than having to ask to each
user to rebuild the whole thing with debugging symbols to send information
that is really useful
Come on, nautilus1.1, gnome-panel2 and all other gnome2 things crash
*a lot*... they're not useful for use in a desktop machine, not even
for those users that, like me, don't mind about an application crashing
sometimes because it is beta software
You guys have always done a very good work with gnome, I guess you're
going to understand that helping with debug is more important than
following policy at this moment... remember we're not releasing
gnome2 to stable or testing anytime soon...

I don't count as a gnome2 maintainer, I know, but I develop with it
and I have 1 of my packages already waiting to go to experimental
which uses libpanel-applet2, I think it would be good to have debug
symbols for libpanel-applet2 so that it is easier to me to find
bugs in my package and in libpanel-applet2
[]s!
