Bug Description

It would be rather nice if there was an ubuntu-desktop-dbg that could pull in
all the -dbg packages that fall under ubuntu-desktop and their deps. During
development cycles, ubuntu-desktop could be made to dep on ubuntu-desktop-dbg,
allowing testers to provide more useful tracebacks without having to
find/install specific -dbg packages.

Does the release team have any inclinations towards this idea?

I think it'd be worthwhile, but it could also be a part of the meta-gnome2 package.

Maybe after Dapper; for now, our time is better spent fixing bugs

Fixed with https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2006-September/000195.html in Edgy - apport will soon be able to retrieve the correct debug packages for crashes.
