But they're probably considerably bigger now, mainly because of the translations.Then we need the current data size to find out the best solution.
roxterm-common 2.9.5-1 in the previous/current release has a package size of 182.1KB. roxterm-gtk3:amd64 is 145.1KB, and roxterm-gtk3-dbg:amd64 is 411.8KB. My prototype monolithic package for amd64 (including debugging symbols) is 902KB.
I suppose the relative size of the existing dbg packages makes a strong case against including debugging symbols in the main package.
