Bug Description

Binary package hint: kvm

1. So, to debug kvm problems I recompile package from source.
Please create -dbg package for ubuntu.

2. kvm binaries are stripped, making debugging useless (https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/595438). In debian/rules I found "--disable-strip" in ./configure arguments. But binaries are stripped anyway. It this correct for Ubuntu?

We have a separate repository for packages with unstripped binaries.

The relevant information is here:

For it to work, the build needs to leave debugging symbols in place (hence the --disable-strip), and later on, the build system will make a copy of the binaries before stripping them and putting them into the standard packages and the unstripped versions in the debug package.

Changed in kvm (Ubuntu):
