Have been talking with Seb, and we realised that the Fedora *-debuginfo packages generally seem to be a fraction of the size of the corresponding ubuntu *-dbg package. For instance, comparing the libgnomeui packages:
Version Package Size Installed Size Fedora: 2.10.0-1 838059 2810k Ubuntu: 2.10.0-0ubuntu1 3889082 9104k
The fedora debuginfo package also includes the source code files referenced by the debugging symbols.
It would be good to work out why the Fedora debug info is so much smaller, since it might make a full debugging symbol repository more feasible.
