FWIW, stepping into libraries is not the only need. You might just want the symbols for those libraries for more information at debug time. To illustrate with an example: libfoo.so might provide a class dummy and you maybe using it like dummy myinstance; //. Then having the libfoo-debuginfo package installed gives you the ability to do things like, print myinstance.getattrib1() or maybe even conditional breakpoints using these symbols. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
