Bug#43787: well, here it is: alternate proposal (was: changed title...)



Hi,

Raul suggested to mention core dumps, which is indeed a good idea.
I extended this to give a general rationale for debugging symbols.

I suggest the following wording. Raul, does this cover what you head in
mind? if not, can you alternate it and suggest a different wording?

Replace:

+	    It is recommended to support building the package with
+	    debugging information through the following interface:

with:

+           Debugging symbols are useful for error diagnosis, investigation
+           of core dumps (which may be submitted by users in bug reports),
+           or testing and developing the software. Therefore it is
+           recommended to support building the package with
+           debugging information through the following interface:

Thanks,
Marcus
