[NBLUG/talk] Debugging packages on Debian?

[Lincoln Peters]

Is there an easy way to download and install packages on Debian that are 
compiled with debugging code, so that if a program crashes, I can obtain a 
usable coredump and/or backtrace to send to the author?  I could probably use 
apt-build to compile my own debugger-friendly binaries, but I would hope that 
there's an easier way (i.e. an apt repository that contains pre-built, 
debugger-friendly builds of every package in the official apt repository).
