Thanks for the report. I'm not sure it's involved in so many crashes that it'd warrant another change over Debian and more packages to push to the mirrors, etc. Sébastien, what do you think?

Ccing Vincent who is upstream. Vincent, do you think libwnck gets enough crasher to justify making a debug package for it (having a debug package is always nice but it cluters the mirrors so it's a matter to know how useful that one would be)

libwnck has got some serious issues (because it's not used a lot in software other than the wnck applets). Having a debug package makes finding out whether my app crash is related to wnck a lot easier.

As said debug packages are nice but have a cost, we don't want to one for every single app using the standard mirror. App developers are usually able to build a debug package if they need it, the question is to know if upstream face often the situation where users send crachers and where they would like to have a debug package to point. Note we will try for edgy to set up a debug mirror or make debug available for everything if possible

fixed to edgy, dbg packages are made for all packages, you can install libwnck18-dbgsym from "deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/ddebs edgy main universe"
