  (Apologies for the delays, holiday season and all. One month after!
Not exactly a model bug reporter I know.)

  Erm, I've now installed the above package, but how do I use this?
Does gdb find it automatically? Or do I have to specify
/usr/lib/debug/... somewhere? I've used library -dbg packages before
where you just compile things with them, but never one of this kind...

  If there's general documentation for this kind of thing I'll be
happy to be pointed to it.

Thanks,
Vasilis
