We could offer that option, but this is an overkill for users imho, because
debug packages tend to be *very* big.

I'll make an example. Let's suppose that you have a crash in plasma (which is
very common). In debian, you would have to install at least the following
packages:

libqt4-dbg: download size 157 MB, installed size 436 MB
kdelibs5-dbg: download size 91 MB, installed size 256 MB
kdebase-workspace-dbg: download size 69 MB, installed size  195 MB

So, you will have to download at least 317 MB every time plasma crashes. I
think this is not ok for most users out there...
