Bug Description
I unpacked all .deb files that were built for *karmic_amd64* platform (just picked one at random), and for mysqld binary the archives have:
./usr/sbin/mysqld: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped
and no debuginfo file. It is bad that we are not shipping debug information - if we're reported crashes we won't be able to fully analyze them.

This has been reported upstream at https:/
In Debian and Ubuntu normal packages are not supposed to contain debug symbols, they are stripped when the binary packages are created.
Ubuntu however provides automatically a facility that has the debug symbols, so that users can install them and get better stack traces. See details at https:/
This bug cannot be "solved" so I close it as invalid now.
