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
